Yup. Thought so. I never heard of theater camp growing up. Football camp, sure. Soccer, yes. Swimming, of course, considering I lived in AZ. Art camp, of course. Language camp, not so popular but they were there. Theater? Nope. I asked my sons about it and he said their high school did not offer theater class but did cast students for school plays, and that was when the students learned about theater, so they assume that the same is true for outside of school – if a person is interested in theater, they audition for plays or go to school like Julliard – specialized program. I guess there is not that much interest in theater except perhaps in Los Angeles and New York City. Nowadays, it seems to be a nepotistic field. Many of actors of today are children of older actors of the past – some are even multi-generational. They know the ins and outs of the industry and have the right looks and attitude, learned from their parents and their industry friends/acquaintances. Easier than hiring a snoot-nosed newbie.
