Registration Information

Registration for the 2025 Seminar Week will open August 1, 2025.

Please read the following information carefully as you consider enrolling your student for this unique opportunity. 

If your student participates in drama camp, he/she must:

• Attend all auditions, sessions, rehearsals, and performances. Please ensure beforehand that there are no conflicts in your schedule. 
• Be prepared to work hard. The schedule can be fairly grueling. Be sure to keep the maturity of your younger children in mind when registering. Elementary students are not involved in learning about makeup, props, sets, etc. and often there is a lot of time spent sitting still, not talking to your neighbor and being patient. If this is a challenge for your child, consider giving them one more year of maturity.
