FORT LAUDERDALE – Enrollment is now taking place for the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and the Performance Project School of the Arts Summer Theater Camp 2017 at the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center at the Broward Center, Aventura Arts & Cultural Center in Miami-Dade and, for the first time, at the Pembroke Pines City Center.
The Broward Center will host free open houses where people can learn more about the camps at all locations and meet the director on Saturday, April 29, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center and on Saturday, May 20 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Pembroke Pines City Center.
Under the direction of Performance Project School Executive Director Nina Felice, campers gain hands-on experience in musical theater, acting, dance, voice and technical production. Each camp session, regardless of location, culminates in a live performance on a professional stage in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center.
Children and teens experience the joy of performing on stage as they gain self-confidence and develop critical thinking skills. Every camper performs in a show as they learn the importance of teamwork in an encouraging environment.
