Summer is winding down, and also What did I learn at Walnut Hill?
My Friends, I have returned. I have come back from the long 5 week voyage; with knowledge, passion and great memories. As you may currently know I was just away for 5 weeks at theWalnut Hill School for The Arts Summer Theatre program. In which I took classes on Dancing, Singing and Acting, and I was in 3 different productions at the same time. 2 musicals and 1 play.
The summer program was a summer intensive program. The camp challenged an amateur actor such as myself to go to places, places that some people were even scared to go too. Some cried, some laughed. Most smiled and others frowned. Overall the summer program was amazing. The Productions I took part in were, Sweet Charity, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and a play called Gizmo. The musicals both had some rigorous dancing and great singing. The 1920's for Millie and the 1960's for Charity were the settings for the shows. Each show had its own unique style to it. What made the shows was the outstanding staff Walnut Hill provided the campers with and also the campers themselves. There was a total of 45 of us. All of us mostly wanting to go into this as a career. So everyone was serious and very talented. The atmosphere was calm and intensive; friendly and peaceful. Definitely a caring community. I also managed to snag a lead as Big Daddy in Sweet Charity, Click here for a video of me.
What have I gotten from this camp? Well I definitely know the field of Theatre more than I did before. I have more College information and audition information as well. Over all it was great.
