The summer theatre camps at Red Mountain Theatre in Birmingham give kids of all ages and skill levels the perfect outlet to use their creativity and imagination in dramatic ways.
Each summer at RMT, young kids step on stage for the first time and learn the basics of theatre. Other students develop their acting, singing and dancing skills. Those in high school may hone their theatrical skills for their next big career and academic steps.
The camps at RMT also help kids with more than just singing and dancing. They help them develop discipline and confidence, learn teamwork, make friends and — perhaps most of all — have fun in the summer.
“It’s the best kind of crazy energy, because we have so many kids who just blossom as they discover performing,” said Academy Manager Daley Dressler. “They’re channeling their talent and excitement into this new thing, with new friends that are just as excited.”
Camps run from May 26-July 31, with most taking place on the RMT Arts Campus downtown. RMT will also host fun satellite camps at Thompson High School in Alabaster and the Chelsea Community Center.
In Play Making camps for rising 4K-1st grades, budding artists explore theatrical storytelling. These half-day classes teach collaboration and creativity using familiar characters like Anna and Elsa, Spider-Man or Bluey.
Rising 1st-3rd graders can become Triple Threats by working on their singing, dancing and acting skills. Students learn 3-5 pop songs or Broadway musical numbers to be performed at the end of the week.
At Theme Camps, rising 2nd-5th graders step into familiar book or movie worlds, like Hogwarts, Oz, or fairy tales, where they learn theatre fundamentals and explore their imagination.
Rising 4th-8th graders can shine on stage during week-long Blast Camps, where they work hard rehearsing a short script and presenting a full, choreographed performance.
Junior high and high schoolers hone specific skills, like auditioning, in the Summer Intensives.
Rising high-school seniors focused on their next academic steps can learn all about submitting applications in the College Prep Intensive.
Most camps end with short performances for family and friends. Camps start at $195 for half-day sessions and $350 for whole-day sessions. Extended care and lunch plans can be added. Financial aid is available for qualified applicants.
