Get a job at a real Summer Stock Theatre - Teacher Stagedoor Manor Employee Review

I was an educator at this camp, and I was disappointed to find out that the camp teaches the children to be stars, not actors. I saw elitism being encouraged. The sense that just because you can sing, dance, or act better does not make you a better person than others around you who also enjoy the theatre. The despicable mind games that are played on the kids by the "directors" can really mess up a young person's mind. It is really a pity. The camp has the potential to be a great place for learning, but instead, it is a place for spoiled rich kids to look down on others. My advice to the older kids at Stagedoor Manor is to get a job at a real Summer Stock Theatre, to see how real theatre is performed, and gain some valuable experience if they want to pursue a career on the stage.
