[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a similar kid! How old is she?  I have sent my 6 yr old DS to different drama camps, and he also has struggled with the performances.  Imagination Stage handled it beautifully by giving him the option to perform or not.  One class he decided to be the "stage manager" (had a clipboard with items to check off as they did them); and the other class he decided to participate in the skit (let me tell you, you have never seen a 6 year old as dedicated to the role of Squirtle as he was).

In general, I'd say the staff of all the acting camps we have tried have been super accommodating of this stuff.  But, you'd probably want to avoid a camp where any big portion of the 2 weeks is dedicated to a final performance.  The more information the final performance, the better.

I’m a threate teacher who agrees with all of this! If you can find an acting class that focuses on the process in an ensemble, rather than the performance aspect, your DD might feel more comfortable.

By the way, Many, many actors are shy or socially anxious and find that having a script really helps them. [/quote]
