Spring Break Onstage!

Perseverance Theatre is thrilled to offer the Anchorage edition of their renowned SPRING BREAK ONSTAGE camp for students Ages 9-18, which will take place over spring break [Mon Mar 13 – Fri Mar 17 from 10am to 5pm, extended hours on Fri].

Campers can look forward to crafting brand new works of theatre completely from scratch! Students will write, workshop, cast, design, and direct their very own original short plays culminating in a public performance on the final day of camp. This comprehensive and holistic approach puts students in charge of their own learning as they create theatre from the ground up — experiencing all the aspects of the theatrical production process while under the guidance of professional theatre artists.
