During our 6 week camp, young artists will be creating an original play with our camp instructors to be performed at the end of the camp on the MainStage theater at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center. In addition, guest artists in the entertainment industry will be visiting each week to help campers understand all aspects of theater and what it takes to bring a production from their imagination to the stage.
