Theater magic at Orbit Arts Academy’s summer camp
You can find Dorothy, Scarecrow, and The Tin Man in the land of Oz, but you can also find them at Orbit Arts Academy. Good Day's Paul Milliken visited the academy's annual musical theatre production camp.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - We’ve been to some magical camps over the past few days here on Good Day Atlanta — but it doesn’t get more magical than a morning in the merry old land of Oz!
This morning, we wrapped up our inaugural "Summer Camp Week" with the talented team at Orbit Arts Academy, which is currently hosting a two-week Musical Theatre Production Camp dedicated to "The Wizard of Oz." Open to young performers aged 7 to 13, the camp includes classes in acting, dancing, and even improv — and culminates in a live performance of "The Wizard of Oz" on Friday, July 18.
Orbit Arts Academy was founded by Anthony Galde and Chris Hall, both of whom are professional musical theater veterans; their mission was to create a creative hub in which students of all ages could receive top-notch performing arts training in Metro Atlanta. And it doesn’t get much more top-notch than some of the academy’s previous guest instructors, including Broadway stars Shoshana Bean, Ann Reinking, James Monroe Iglehart, and Megan Hilty among many others.
