Fred Sternfeld, director
THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP
open to 8-12th grade and college students
Supervisor: Carol Pribble
Staff thus far: Mitchell B. Fields, Dudley Swetland, George Roth
The young people enrolled in the FPAC Professional Training Workshop should
have a desire to study theater in a challenging and disciplined environment.
The training is focused on creating truthful, three dimensional characters.
Campers in the Professional Training Workshop all take a core curriculum of
acting, scene study and audition techniques and pick an emphasis in acting,
musical theatre or dance.
&
THE PERFORMANCE AND ACTOR TRAINING WORKSHOP
open to 7 - 9th grade
Supervisor: George Roth
This program is essentially the same as the Professional Training Workshop,
except that instead of taking classes in the afternoon you will have the
opportunity to be in a production. In the mornings you will be in the same Acting
and Scene Study classes as the students signed up for the Professional
Training Workshop.
Two hours of each day will be spent taking theatre classes such as acting
and improvisation, three hours will be spent preparing for a production that
will be presented on the last Thursday evening of the session and one hour at
the end of the day for electives – "flex time."
Play titles will be announced in the near future.

A few testimonials ...
I loved camp - I really felt like I was in a theatre school with classes on
every aspect of the stage. I learned so much and I encourage anyone looking
to prepare for a professional career in theatre to come to FPAC ! Because of
camp I feel inspired to take more classes and learn more. The 'toolbox' of
all the new skills & techniques I learned are so valuable and will surely help
me with any theatre I do in the future – thanks for the great experience!
The teachers are incredible and each one helped me grow as an actress and a
person. Thanks!!
Anne Markt
I learned a ton but yet I had so much fun! The staff was excellent! I liked
how the staff was older than high school so they knew what they were
teaching. I liked every single thing about this camp!
Dani Apple
I thought it was amazing. But I do wish that it was longer. I learned so
much! And I had a blast. This camp rocks.
Sara Masterson
Superb. I loved everyone. This camp has taught me more in three weeks than I
have learned elsewhere in years.
Dan O'Neil
Ya know, FPAC was great this summer and I'm very happy I did it, especially
considering the demanding challenges (COLLEGE AUDITIONS!) I was faced with
this year. The program is simply ideal for students really interested in
theatre as a profession; even those looking to participate as a hobby. There are
few educational theatre programs really dedicated to teaching youth the "real
deal" and preparing them for what may lie ahead. I've done many day camp
programs, none offer the acting training that fpac does. The professional
atmosphere alone sets the camp apart from others. I'm excited to see this program
grow! I just really wanted to commend you for offering such an excellent
program for students. Just my 2 cents, I know you already know it's fabulous!
Thanks again so much for the character analysis sheet! Reeeally helpful!
Halle Morse
David Ludick has been cast as the understudy for all the male roles in The
Play House production of A Christmas Story - 2006. His Dad and I are convinced
that his experience at FPAC this past summer catapulted him from community
theatre to the Cleveland Play House. Thanks so much to you, C.P., Mitchell,
Sean and the rest of your staff for such a wonderful learning experience for
David. FPAC is well worth the money and time. We'll see you next year!
Dr. Dixie Ludick
I just got cast as Helen in A Christmas Story at the Cleveland Play House!!
I used a lot of the things that I learned at your camp in my audition and am
sure I couldn't have gotten the part otherwise. I enjoyed your camp a lot
and plan to attend next year.
Naomi Hill
I just have to say that this camp was fantastic. I learned so much and I
will most definitely use everything I learned at camp in my acting career. It
was so much fun! I will do it next year, and hopefully throughout high school!
This has been the best camp I have been to. I have learned so many "tools"
that I will use in the future ! Thank you!
Emma Schreibman
We fully expected Fairmount Performing Arts Camp to be fantastic, under the
leadership of Fred Sternfeld and his talented staff. However, our daughter's
experience far exceeded our expectations. She attended master classes led by
some of NE Ohio's top directors and actors, which taught her new techniques
for auditions and performance. She could not wait to get to camp every
morning. The campers formed such strong bonds over the 3 week session that their
goodbyes on the last day were full of tears and emotions.
Jeff and Carol Wahl,
parents of Emma Wahl
Amazing! Not much that could have been better. Great! I improved my acting
and had fun at the same time. I will be back next year. Awesome. This camp
has helped me and so many others tremendously. Some of the best training in
the Cleveland area.
Louie Rosenbaum
When I auditioned for Fairmount last spring, I didn't realize what I would
be getting myself into. I, as well as most of the other students that attended
FPAC, have been involved with many theatre camps over the past few years.
For all I knew, FPAC could have just been any other theatre camp. But it
wasn't. Fairmount was a truly different experience. My time spent at FPAC was
extremely beneficial, from the guest artists to the scene study we did with the
instructors. Like Halle, I believe that my summer at FPAC really helped me with
my college auditions this year, and will continue to help me throughout the
rest of my theatre studies. For any student of theatre, especially ones that
are trying to pursue it as a career, I can not persuade you more emphatically
to attend Fairmount Performing Arts Camp. I am extremely proud to say that I
was a part of the first year at FPAC. As far as my college situation, I have
been accepted to University of Cincinnati - College Conservatory of Music,
University of Michigan, and Point Park College. It has been an absolutely
crazy year! Like I said, I really think the things I learned at FPAC helped me
out during this extremely stressful fall/winter! Thanks again Fred for
everything!
Alex Puette
I learned a lot about acting and singing. At FPAC, when you sing a song your
friends join in no matter who they are in front of. At school, people look
at you like you're crazy. I have made great friends here – love it. Wow!
Amazing – it gets better every year! I love it! The staff members that I had
were wonderful. Improv is so important and fun OMG! CP is very skilled and
awesome. Voice and Movement with Arian is awesomely awesome! Totally!
Definitely coming back. I had a lot of fun. Superb staff - Sean, Heidi, David,
Carol and Fred were cool. Scene Study - lovely. I learned a lot of important
things. Fun! Fun! The Overnight? OMG!! That was so fun!
Angie Holecko
SUPERB! It was a great camp.
Lisandra Stebner
I loved it. If this camp went on forever I would be so happy. I've learned
so much and I'm definitely coming back next year because there'll be so much
more to learn & more fun to be had & friends to make and love.
Heather Farr
The camp is WONDERFUL. Already, Naomi is learning a lot and loving it. The
instruction is excellent and the prevailing feeling is really positive and
supportive. I see why the program receives such rave reviews.
Freda Levinson,
mother of Naomi Hill
Awesome! I learn so much! Every year is better than the last! The staff is
sooo nice and cool (Great job in 'Barrymore' Mitchell!) So many awesome
choices. I learned a lot.
Cody Swanson
This past summer at Fairmount Performing Arts Camp was a wonderful
experience and I thank you so much! Now that I have been in college for a semester, I
am realizing just how valuable the acting training was at FPAC. I am finding
that camp has prepared me more for a career in theatre than many of my
college classes have. FPAC took time to critique each individual student in a
supportive, nurturing environment. I feel so honored to have gotten the
opportunity to work with numerous area professionals last summer, as opposed to the
same one or two teachers that are common in the college setting. Looking back, I
know I really would have missed out had I not participated in FPAC last
summer, and I certainly wouldn't be where I am now in terms of my acting
capabilities. I think that FPAC is certainly valuable for any college student who
wishes to pursue a career in theatre.
Kelly Pekar
This was absolutely superb. I like everything about it. The staff was
AMAZING and they were all very nice. I LOVED it. Flex Time – 1 word – PERFECT.
Adam Hass-Hill
This camp has helped me so much. It's almost been like a second home to me
for the last 3 years. I love FPAC!
Molly Israel
This camp is beyond amazing!!! I feel that I have learned so much from so
many brilliant teachers!! I looked forward to it every day. It's like you
are having so much fun doing what you love to do, but learning so much!
Meghan Grover
I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had at camp.
I'm so thrilled I got to work with some of the most talented teachers and
actors in Cleveland. I feel I have grown so much as an actress. I now have a "tool
box" that I can use for the rest of my life. I now feel prepared to walk
into any audition and know all of the right things to do. Also, through scene
study class I learned so much about not judging your character and making
strong choices which are both important skills that I can use for any character I
ever play. Not only did I learn a lot, but I also made some of my best
friends at camp. I went into camp knowing only a few people and came out with 30
close friends who I can depend on and talk to about anything. I wish I was able
participate in more than just one session, because these past three weeks
have been an incredible experience that I will remember forever.
Sincerely,
Jane Larson
