MARIETTA, Ga. - March 25, 2019 - PRLog -- The Strand's Triple Threat Theatre Camp offers a concentrated training experience for ages five to thirteen in the craft of singing, acting, and dancing in collaboration with the Georgia Dance Conservatory and the Atlanta Lyric Theatre.

The hands-on, conservatory-style program gives students a chance to learn some of the most important and influential practices of the modern theater.

Students will learn in the historic Strand theatre as well as the studios at the Georgia Dance Conservatory. The camp will culminate with a showcase for friends and family on The Strand's Stephen W. Imler stage.
