Drama Queens and Kings: Theater Summer Camp (Beirut Campus)
The Drama Queens and Kings Summer Camp will introduce the participants to the basic acting techniques and empower them to truly understand these methods through extensive exercises on body, voice, creativity, improvisation and believability.
