Watch: Alabama Shakespeare Festival to host summer camp in Selma

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is bringing an arts education program to Selma this summer, offering a free weeklong theater camp for local students at the historic Walton Theater.

Cam Williams, Director of Education for ASF, talks to Black Belt News Network's Todd Prater about the decision to launch the organization’s first satellite summer camp in Selma and how it grew out of a desire to strengthen connections with Black Belt communities that may not always have the ability to travel to Montgomery.

The camp will run July 6–10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day and is open to students entering fourth through seventh grades.

Registration for the Selma camp is free but required in advance. Families can sign up at www.asf.net/camps, where they will find a dedicated link for the Selma program. Space is limited, and registration will close either the Friday before camp begins or once all slots are filled.
