#4 – Become a Role Model and use your Leadership Skills – Apply for our Camp Counselor Positions!
Camp Counselors help make camp a smooth, successful, and fun experience for campers! Each day, counselors have the opportunity to lead or assist teaching artists with classroom activities including theatre games, warm-ups, and craft projects. Counselors may also help campers to rehearse scenes, learn choreography or movement combinations, or prepare for the final camp performances. Counselors also frequently take on administrative tasks, including helping to run check-in and check-out, preparing class materials, and setting up or cleaning up camp spaces. Counselors are expected to be punctual and fully present for each day of camp, and to model good behavior for campers. This is a very active and hands-on position. Camp counselors at these programs are expected to be proactive and look for ways to use their individual talents to help the camp’s artistic staff and contribute to the camp environment. Apply by February 28 for best consideration.
#5 – Begin the Year with Commedia! Come See Encore’s Commedia Cinderella opening January 14
The Italian tradition of commedia dell’arte may be centuries old, but it’s alive and well in this rollicking play-within-a-play! The lively commedia troupe spices up the classic Cinderella story with sharp wit, slapstick shenanigans, and endless silly squabbles (including baguette fencing, laugh duels, and slap fights).
Show opens January 14, 2022 at Gunston Arts Center – Theatre One. Buy tickets now.
