We are happy to announce that due to popular demand we have expanded our Stage 2 full day programming with 2 new sessions. We ensure all parents that our new alternate site (just a short walk down the street at Ryerson United Church) will be operating with the same energy and level of professionalism that you have come to expect from our programs at the Firehall. We will be offering an identical program at Ryerson to what we offer at the Firehall, the same theme, structure, learning experiences and overall genuine fun times! All final shows will be taking place on the Firehall stage on the 2nd Saturday of the session. As an added bonus of having two camps, both the Ryerson and the Firehall camps will have the exciting opportunity to mingle and share some downtime when they meet for lunch in the park everyday (weather permitting). We hope you can be a part of our new expansion, and support us in the continued growth of our youth programming.
Qualified instruction in acting, singing, dramatic technique, stage movement, improvisation, characterization, vocal development, elementary/advanced dance and choreography. Opportunities for experience-based workshops in costume design, prop making, set and lighting, stage fighting, auditioning techniques and storytelling. Program emphasis is on script creation, rehearsal process and public performance.
