Zeitgeist Theater today announced its first-ever summer acting camp. A Midsummer Night’s Dream Teen Acting Camp, which will held at Zeitgeist Teatro on August 5-9, will allow participants ages 12-18 to learn about the fundamentals of theater and gain experience with auditioning for and performing in a theater production.

“Zeitgeist's Midsummer Theater Camp covers just about everything there is to know about what happens on and off the stage, ending with a wild performance of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream in the woods at Duluth's Hartley Nature Center,” said Mary Fox, Zeitgeist Theater’s Producing Artistic Director. “The camp will include auditions, playwriting, stage management scenarios, voice and movement, the guts of Shakespeare, and everything from learning to trust your fellow castmates to how to be vulnerable under those big theater lights.

"Each day, kids will also get to experience testimonials from professional artists working in the biz here in Duluth, the Twin Cities, L.A., and New York. This camp is designed for kids to connect, their surroundings, and the beauty of ‘PLAY.’”
