Returning for the third year, this week-long afternoon camp allows children to find out all about what goes on behind the camera. Budding filmmaker and long-time Astor Theatre friend, Easton Goodwin, will work in a group to formulate an idea, create a script and storyboard, and then film your masterpiece! The week will finish with watching your movie on the big screen (complete with the famous Astor popcorn!)
The Astor Academy Radio Theatre Camp allows campers aged 8–17 to learn to create audio-driven dramas, with a focus on voice acting, sound effects, scriptwriting, and audio editing. In this camp, we will record, polish, and perform a radio play on a community radio station.
Seniors Connecting was created in 2021 and facilitated by Sandi Atkinson.
Seniors meet weekly for a time of connection and enjoy coffee, tea and snacks together. Each week, they sing, dance, and do crafts. They even performed a Christmas Radio Play that aired on QCCR two years running.
This year we are excited to have Sandi co-leading with Sheree Cee and we look forward to seeing of the things that they do this year.
Calling all kids aged 7 to 13!
Have you ever wanted to make your own animated movies?
Stop-Motion Club started in 2024 by Desmond Smyth, a local high school student who had an interest in Stop-Motion when he was younger and wanted to teach the younger generation about this animation form.
Our club has expanded, not only teaching stop-motion animation but 2D frame-by-frame hand-drawn-style animation, green screen animation, and frame-by-frame pivot-stick-figure-style techniques all using your cellphone or tablet.
Attention Young Filmmakers!
Filmmaking Club was started by Kyle Smyth in 2024. We were very excited to have Dan Williams join us soon afterwards. Our club members make original short films and take their projects from screenwriting, editing, production planning, cinematography, directing, and editing to get them to the final product.
