Act One wants to keep all those interested in the school's programs updated on upcoming events, theatre summer camp registration deadlines and other activities.
The topics below include both new information and some of the most common subject areas that we have been asked about over the past few months:
Act One’s instructors and I hope all the students who took part, found the Weekend of Monologues shows to be a positive experience. I am happy to announce that the student performance videos have now been posted to the school website, in the Student Gallery section.
Videos from all three show nights, plus the video slates of all the On Camera students can be viewed via the Weekend of Monologues gallery page.
Anyone who would like to download a personal copy of their source video file, should e-mail me for the private download link. To prevent unauthorized downloads, direct downloading from the website has been disabled.
As a side note, please note that there is no deadline for requesting a download. Act One records almost all student performances. We can provide copies from either on-line or archive sources, going all the way back to 2008.
A quick reminder to all those who have already registered for one or more sessions in Act One’s 2026 Theatre Summer Camp and to those who may be considering doing so, please be reminded that the deadline to receive the 5% Early Registration discount is April 30th. All registrations received and paid for by this date, receive this special discount.
If this 5% Early Registration discount is not a factor in a decision, then we can receive registrations at any point, up to the session start date, as long as there is space in the desired session. At this point in time, we still have space in all four sessions, although Sessions I (July 6th to 17th) and Session III (August 4th to 14th) are getting close to being full.
Please be reminded that existing and previous Act One students and campers all receive a 5% discount off camp fees. All discounts are cumulative.
You can find more detailed information and the link to the on-line summer camp registration form on the Camp Programs page.
Previous Year Camper Performance Videos: A quick reminder to returning campers, who may wish to relive past memories, that the performance videos from all their previous camp sessions are available on the school website, in the Summer Camps section of the Student Gallery. For anyone who wishes to download the videos of a specific camper, please just e-mail the school for the private download link.
I have received a number of inquiries from parents and guardians of Act One students, as well as other adults who have expressed an interest in this program. Please be advised that the April 26th session is now completely FULL. We can only accept waitlist requests for the session.
To give anyone who is interested the best chance to try a session in the near future, as of this update, we also only have two (2) spots remaining in the May 31st session. There is no session currently planned for June and we will not be setting the July and August schedule until end of May.
More information can be found on the school website in the Improv Drop-In page.
I hope the above information helps answer many of the common questions I have had over the past couple of weeks and keeps everyone updated with respect to Act One's current and planned future events, activities and programs for the rest of this year.
If anyone has any questions regarding this update or any other topic, please feel free to contact the school.
Sincerely,
Mark Nathanielsz
Owner/Artistic Director
