Professional theater artists will also guide campers through solo work, movement and dance, theater technique, audition etiquette, and ensemble performance. During this one-week camp, campers will be split into two pods based on age to learn about the basics of theater through familiar childhood short stories.
In addition to learning tricks, campers will also explore the history and psychology behind magic, developing their knowledge and appreciation for this captivating art form. One unique aspect of the Bad Magic Productions Summer Camp is the emphasis on personalized instruction.

The Live Arts Teen Theater Ensemble (L.A.T.T.E.) was created in January 1998 by the first EVER Live Arts Education Director, Lydia Horan, to highlight young performers working together to produce amazing pieces of devised theater. This intensive gives teen campers an opportunity to enjoy the camp experience while producing a 60-minute, Black Box style production of DNA (Student Edition) by Dennis Kelly, edited by Claire Finburgh Delijani.
About the Play: When a group of young friends are faced with a terrible accident, they deliberately make the wrong choices to cover it up and find themselves in an unusually binding friendship where no one will own up to what they’ve done. DNA centers on friendship, morality, and responsibility in odd circumstances.
Participants will audition on the first day of camp using sides from the script. Those who choose not to act will become stage managers, assistant directors, and/or designers.

Reviews for "From Street Style to Resort Wear: Bad Magic Productions' Versatile Summer Camo"
1. John - 2 stars - I enrolled my daughter in the Bad Magic Productions Summer Camp hoping that she would have a fun and enriching experience. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. The camp lacked organization and structure, with activities being haphazardly thrown together. The staff seemed disinterested and unprepared, and there were no clear guidelines or goals for the campers. Overall, it was a chaotic and underwhelming experience. I would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1 star - My son attended the Bad Magic Productions Summer Camp, and it was a complete waste of time and money. The advertised activities were not provided, and the ones that were offered were poorly executed. The staff seemed inexperienced and unenthusiastic, making the whole camp feel uninspiring. Additionally, the facilities were subpar, with run-down equipment and dirty surroundings. Avoid this camp if you want your child to have a positive and worthwhile summer experience.
3. Michelle - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Bad Magic Productions Summer Camp, but it fell short of my expectations. The activities were repetitive and lacked creativity. The camp counselors seemed more interested in socializing with each other than engaging with the campers. The overall atmosphere was unstimulating, and my child came home bored and uninspired. It's disappointing to see such a lackluster camp experience. I would look elsewhere for a more enriching summer program.
4. David - 1 star - I regret enrolling my daughter in the Bad Magic Productions Summer Camp. It was disorganized, with changes in schedule and activities happening without prior notice. The staff appeared untrained and unresponsive to the needs of the campers. The facilities were outdated and unclean, and safety protocols were not adequately followed. I felt that the camp lacked professionalism and failed to provide a positive and safe environment for the children. I would not recommend it to anyone.
