Day 3 of our Musical Theater Intensive Camp was full of inspiration as the campers had the opportunity to learn from two special guest speakers who work within the theater industry!
We were thrilled to welcome Chellie Fig and Krissy Fraelich, who shared their knowledge, talents, and experiences with our young performers.
Chellie Fig led both camp groups in learning a fun and energetic dance number while introducing campers to new dance techniques and helping them build confidence through movement. Campers enjoyed challenging themselves as they worked on choreography and performance skills.
Krissy Fraelich shared her personal journey in the theater industry, giving campers a behind the scenes look at what it is like to pursue a career in the performing arts. She encouraged students to dream big and answered many thoughtful questions from campers who were eager to learn more about taking their love of theater to the next level.
