Olney Theatre Center Summer STOCK
Olney Theatre Center Summer STOCK is a one-of-a-kind theater arts program for students in grades 4-6 (rising). Students will work with OTC theater artists daily, taking classes in Acting & Improvisation, Voice & Singing, Dance & Movement, and Scene Creation. At the end of the two-week session, students will live stream a final performance of their music, dance, and writing pieces to be shared with their parents upon completion of the camp.
Olney Theatre Center Musical Theatre Intensive
