Summer youth theater classes to teach stagecraft, produce musical

NICEVILLE — Northwest Florida State College's Fine and Performing Arts Division will present Camp Glee, musical theatre training scheduled for June 9 to July 3.

College faculty members — including voice professor Allison Everitt; dance professor Uli Dunbar; and Christa Whittaker, drama instructor at Fort Walton Beach High School and adjunct NWFSC professor — will teach lessons on acting, voice, makeup, dance and staging at the college’s Mattie Kelly Arts Center in Niceville.

Enrollment is now open for the classes, which meet 8:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays. Dual enrollment credit is available for qualified high school students. Certain fees are covered under the dual enrollment program.

No prior theater experience is needed to participate in the program for rising eighth-grade through college-age students.

Students who have never been enrolled at NWFSC should complete admissions online or in person at any NWFSC location. All dual or concurrent students must enroll through the Dual/Concurrent Office in the Student Services Center on the Niceville campus.

Participants will star in the musical “Beauty & the Beast, Jr.” on July 3 in the center’s Sprint Theater. Admission is free and open to the public with performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
