Thespians ‘N Training

Cherokee Civic Theatre will hold TNT 2008- its 5th Annual TNT Summer Camp during June 2008.“TNT” stands for “Thespians ‘N Training” with the camp designed for young people exiting Grade 1 through exiting Grade12 – whatever their level of experience with the theatre arts.

TNT 2008 will run either June 16th through 28th.

This year TNT has expanded to five sessions to accommodate 75 - 80 campers.

TNT Campers will put on a one-act show. TNT is all “hands-on” so that means the Campers audition, rehearse, build sets, build costumes, organize props, and add lights & sound to create their Grand Finale Showcase. It’s wild, wacky and wonderful fun for both the participants and our volunteer staff.

Membership does have is privileges at CCT because CCT Season Patrons may register first for TNT.  General registration starts May 1st. Final deadline for registration is May 24th. Meeting this deadline ensures the camper an official camp t-shirt. CCT also reserves the right to request late fees for registrations after this date.

TNT is a very popular camp so all registrations are on a first-come, first served basis. All forms must be completed and all fees must be received before a camper is considered “registered”. The camper will be notified of registration and a waiting list will be kept if necessary.

TNT registration for both weeks is $25 for CCT Season Patrons and $35 for all others. (CCT reserves the right to change registration fees at the time final information is made available to the public. All campers are asked to provide one day of snacks.
