Throughout last week, July 31 through Aug. 4, Evans Children’s Academy of Performing Arts partnered with The Poncan Theatre to hold a Musical Theatre Camp for the students in the area that have their eyes set on the stage. For $150, children from the ages of 7 and up had the opportunity to learn everything they need to know about life in the musical theatre world. They left no stone unturned throughout the week, teaching everything from singing and acting to even audition preparation and stage makeup.
