Studio Tenn is gearing up for a series of summer camps and educational programming aimed at all ages and skill levels. The initiative aims to train aspiring performers in all aspects of theater to shape the next generation of artists and arts lovers.
Audition Masterclass
Studio Tenn’s spring and summer programming kicks off with Audition Masterclass for ages 15 and up on March 30, 2024, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Battle Ground Academy (BGA) in Franklin. Registration is $30 per person.
Through skill-sharpening sessions and rotating master classes, local theater professionals share their experience with participants, offering ways to enhance monologues, songs and dance routines.
Summer Camps
Young performers have the opportunity to step into the limelight with Studio Tenn’s Summer Camps this June; camps culminate in a mainstage performance at the new Turner Theater at the Factory at Franklin.
Studio Tenn’s Junior Camp (grades 3-6) runs June 3 – 8, 2024, at BGA and Turner Theater. The camp will consist of rehearsals, costume design sessions and prop-making workshops in preparation for a student performance of “Finding Nemo Kids” at Turner Theater on June 8 at 2 p.m. Registration is $300 per student.
Summer Intensive
Studio Tenn’s Summer Intensive (grades 7-12) takes place June 10 – 14 and June 17 – 23, 2024, at BGA and Turner Theater. During this two-week program, students will hone acting skills, collaborate with fellow performers and bring a full-scale production of “Legally Blonde, Jr.” to life at Turner Theater on June 22 at 7 p.m. and June 23 at 2 p.m. Registration is $450 per student.
“This programming isn’t just about learning lines and hitting marks; experiences like these shape confident, expressive individuals,” says Bakari King, Studio Tenn’s director of education. “I’m excited to watch students discover the power of their own voices, the magic of collaboration, and the thrill of stepping into someone else’s shoes through performance.”
