Participants in the Patel Conservatory Theater camps will put on Little Shop of Horrors, Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr., The Tempest and A Straz Musical Revue.

“Our performing arts camps and classes are excellent ways to have fun, build on or learn skills and explore creativity,” said Wendy Leigh, Straz Center vice president of education. “Outstanding curricula, fun themes and activities and
top-notch instructors and facilities really set us apart from other camps. The best part is that these classes run not just throughout the summer, but we offer them all year long. Training doesn’t have to end just because the summer has ended.”
