A specialized camp for performers looking to get a little deeper into the art of professional theatre. Each day, campers will focus on building their audition package, honing their preparedness for dance calls, and marketing themselves professionally. This camp is intended for students looking to strengthen their presence as an overall performer and be ready for each audition in the Richmond community without stress.

Virginia Rep is a nonprofit organization, and we strive to make our education programming as affordable as possible. Financial Assistance application is available by request. Contact Vivian Schwartz.
