CAMP INFO
The Laboratory Theater of Florida takes a "whole actor" approach to acting. In addition to physical theater, stage combat, voice modulation, blocking, stagecraft, and scene study, they also learn the basics of set design, lighting elements, lighting design, costuming, stage makeup, stage management, and theater etiquette and best practices. And, of course, theater games. Acting is FUN!
The camp culminates in a professional production of Failure: A Love Story, which runs for 2 weekends and includes 1 mid-week line run.
The theater follows both the CDC guidelines and the School District of Lee County guidelines, stating that campers must be masked indoors. This camp is limited to 15 thespians, ages 12-18. This guarantees the maximum one-on-one instruction and allows us to keep the students as safe as possible.
As this is a full production, students will be asked to sign the theater's Pandemic Protocol.
Failure: A Love Story
by Phillip Dawkins
By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead -- expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from a blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.
A registration form needs to be filled out for each camper. Students will not be allowed to stay without signed registration forms. If registering multiple students, please choose "First Camper" for the first and "sibling" for the others.
