The Effingham Performance Center\u2019s High School Summer Theatre Camp Program will present a free performance of The Wizard of Oz<\/strong> at The EPC on Thursday, June 26 at 7 pm.\u00a0 Doors open at 6 pm.<\/p>\n

The show is free and open to the public, although space is limited to the first 1,500 attendees.<\/p>\n

Camp Director Tracie Riley has been involved in EPC camps for past five years.\u00a0 \u201cThere are so many things the kids learn, especially at the high school camp,\u201d said Riley. \u201cThey learn exactly how the show is built and then build it themselves.\u00a0 They get to learn how to block their own scenes, build their sets and prop pieces, design costumes and makeup, and market their own show as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wizard of Oz is all about learning to cherish what you have.\u00a0 The story is about a girl named Dorothy who gets swept out of her state, Kansas, by a tornado. She wakes up in munchkin land, and she gets guided by the yellow brick road to the emerald city, so she can meet the Wizard of Oz.\u00a0 While on her way, she encounters friends and problems conflicting with her desire to go home.<\/p>\n

Campers Carson Etheridge and Stella Riley have both participated in summer theatre camp for several years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learn not only things about acting, but things relating to marketing and costumes, as well as other elements of putting on a show,\u201d said Etheridge.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s what sets us apart from others when doing other shows — knowing about each role in a production is invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stella Riley agreed adding camp is a rewarding experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always really stressful, but at the same time a lot of fun.\u00a0 When you\u2019re doing other shows there\u2019s not as much stress, but because of the short time it’s more stressful.\u00a0 It\u2019s always fun and fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n
