Act on Education with OCPA!
In 2010 OCPA presents the tenth stimulating season of our flagship Magic of Theatre
summer camps,
offering kids and teens a fun-filled,
educational, and enlightening theatre
experience. In a classroom atmosphere, students ages six to 19 discover
the process of theatre, culminating in a staged production after just a
few weeks of rehearsal and training. More than 1,600 kids have
participated in our program, which helps them develop and expand their
skills in acting, voice, dance, and other aspects of the theatre. All students who sign
up for our camps are cast in the show.
OCPA
comprises
talented
professionals
with
a
dedication
to
kids and the arts, and we
love what we do -- and that’s what makes theatre camp such a meaningful
experience for our students, many of whom return year after year.
They make new friends, bond with kids from other walks of life,
and grow creatively in a safe and supportive environment.
Last summer we had
three awesome weekday camps. Check out our Gallery
for
photos of our past camps and shows.

Magic of Theatre
Summer Camp
We have four fantastic offerings this year: Our revived Shakespeare
camp is now a Classical Theatre camp and directed by Oregon Shakespeare
Festival's Tyrone Wilson. This summer we are offering two young kids
camps directed by Andrew
Brock, with musical direction by
Marcia
Katzmar. Our last camp of the summer will be returning OCPA to its
mission, educating students through theatre. This camps promises to be
challenging and fun. It's also an opportunity for participants to learn
from professionals and hone their performance skills in musical
theatre, acting, singing, and dance. You won't find this type of camp
anywhere in the Rogue Valley.
Please note that our
camps fill up
quickly. The Registration Form, Scholarship Application,

Sponsorship Form can all be downloaded from this site. You can also
