Flim & Tech

In Technical Theater & Media we have world-class programs designed by the camps’ Executive Director, John J.A. Jannone. John has been, for over 20 years, a Professor of Television and Emerging Media at Brooklyn College, where he founded the M.F.A. program in Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA). Campers learn hands-on technical theater and multi-camera television production as lighting and sound operators, stage managers, stage crew, camera operators, vision mixers/technical directors, and floor managers for our many live productions. It is often the case that we have more campers backstage than on-stage! Our program is open to campers of all ages and experience levels: beginners are given practical hands-on opportunities, while more advanced campers are challenged to expand and explore, in the realms of lighting, sound, set, and costume design. We also offer traditional single-camera filmmaking and editing to interested campers.

Film & Media

Our Film and Media program offers a hands-on learning experience where campers delve into multi-camera television and traditional single-camera filmmaking and editing, ensuring a comprehensive media education for all.
Costumes & Makeup

Under the guidance of passionate instructors, campers not only learn technical skills but also cultivate a deep appreciation for the power of storytelling through costume and makeup design. From sewing intricate costumes to mastering the art of prosthetic application, campers are equipped with the skills and resources to create stunning visual transformations on stage.
Lighting & Sound

Campers dive into the world of lighting and sound design as they learn how to operate lighting setups, such as spotlights, and sound systems to enhance stage performances. Campers can learn how to create their own sound effects, light design shows to create the perfect ambience, hang up lights, and more! Guided by experienced counselors, campers gain practical skills that deepen their understanding and love for theater production.
Stage Management

The stage management department is the backbone of every production, ensuring smooth and efficient operation behind the scenes. Led by experienced staff members, campers learn the intricacies of stage management, from coordinating rehearsals to cueing lighting and sound effects during performances. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, campers gain valuable leadership skills and a deep appreciation for the collaborative nature of theater production.
