| Welcome to another summer of fun at the Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod! The Empress Theatre is once again offering drama camps for children and teens ages 6 to 18 years. With six camps to choose from, we're sure we have a camp that will spark your child's acting bug!
Each camp is guided by skilled instructors who know how to act and have fun! Campers will become part of a team who create their very own performance to be shared with family and friends on their final day of camp. The goal of every camp is to ensure the children have fun, make friends and most importantly take away valuable and practical acting skills and knowledge that will benefit them throughout their lives! |
