The Laboratory Theater of Florida is a professional theater company and only uses credentialed educators and professional actors in its education department.
SHOW INFO:
A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, She Kills Monsters is a high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture – a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
CAMP INFO
As a professional teaching theater, The Laboratory Theater of Florida takes a "whole actor" approach to acting. In addition to physical movement, stage combat, voice modulation, blocking, stagecraft, and scene study, students 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 She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition by Qui Nguyen, which runs for four performances July 13 - 16. Speaking parts are available for all ages, abilities, genders, and ethnicities within the camp range. In addition to speaking roles, technical and backstage opportunities are available for those students who prefer to learn backstage skills and protocols.
This camp is limited to 15 students, ages 12-17, which guarantees an abundance of one-on-one instruction and allows us to keep the students as safe as possible. The theater will consider actors outside this age range on a case-by-case basis and readiness assessment.
Please complete a registration form for each camper. Students will not be allowed to stay without signed registration and hold harmless release forms. If registering multiple students, please choose "First Camper" for the first and "sibling" for the others.
