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 2018 at the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center at the Broward Center, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center in Miami-Dade and, for the first time, at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center at Nova South Eastern University.
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.
Four Groups Designed to be Age Appropriate
Acting Up Camp, for children between ages seven and nine, offers classes in acting, singing, dance and arts and crafts. First session campers will perform Cinderella Kids and second session campers will perform Lion King Kids.
