Welcome to the SouthWest StageWorks BootCamp - August 15-18, 2022
The Creative Team and Student Council of your friendly neighborhood Theatre Company will be here to ease your fears and educate your minds about how to get involved with the great things that we do, through a series of workshops designed to bring you up to speed on the skills and mindsets necessary to be productive members of the (SW)2 team...exciting opportunities for new students and for those who want to expand their skills!
The SouthWest StageWorks BootCamp workshops will cover topics including:
-Improv Game Play
-Auditioning
-Costume Crew Basics
-Sound/Light Rigging Crew Basics
-Show Support/Run Crew Basics
...and potentially others!
1) Registration is required and can be filled out in advance here after 8/1! You can register for individual sessions or for the week!
2) Look over the session offerings once they post after 8/1, so that you have an idea of where you'd like to jump in.
3) When you come in, bring in the tuition to the IBWHS Auditorium Lobby (our check in/out location each day) for your sessions and you'll be good to go! Cost is $50 for the 4 day experience, or $10 per session.
4) In addition, just bring a water, lunch and a positive mindset, and you’ll get the rest you need here.
For the fee/tuition, we can only accept Cash or Check right now, so please plan ahead! There is some scholarship availability for those with limited means...please feel free to contact me directly at mjamie@pps.net with inquiries.
Any student in incoming Grades 7-12 is welcome…polish up your skills, learn something new, or just get involved with the award-winning (SW)2 theatre company! All sessions will be mixed age, giving a one of a kind educational theatre experience!
The section below will have a schedule of the individual sessions and session leaders for your planning ease.
