Description

Ready for the ultimate theatrical challenge? At One Act in a Week Camp, campers ages 12-18 will come together to create a fully staged one-act play in just five days. From memorizing lines to crafting props, designing costumes, and adding lights and sound, the actors will be involved in every step of the production process to bring the story from page to stage. This immersive camp emphasizes acting, character development, and storytelling through a variety of techniques and styles, with a focus on teamwork and creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping on stage for the first time, this exciting and comprehensive experience will take your theatrical skills to the next level.

PLAY SELECTION: FINDING COREY TAYLOR
Corey is lost. It’s the day of her high school graduation and her unsigned yearbook confirms what she already suspects…no one knows who Corey Taylor is. And how can she blame them when Corey hardly knows herself? When her best friend, Reese, suggests a road trip across America to meet other people named Corey Taylor, Corey reluctantly agrees, and embarks on the trip of a lifetime, hoping that in finding other Corey Taylors, she’ll also find herself. Each scene takes Corey to a new part of America-from a rustic home in Possum Trot, KY, to backstage at a cabaret theater in NYC, but it’s a surprise last minute stop that puts everything in focus for Corey, and she learns that finding herself is a journey, not a destination.
