AMY CHEYFITZ is finishing a B.A. in theater at the University of Michigan's Residential College focusing on costume design and performance, working with the Head of the Drama Concentration, Kate Mendeloff, and with the RC Players, Basement Arts, and Rude Mechanicals, three of the university’s student-run theater groups.  She has worked on "Falling You’ll Fly", an original play that we performed in Moscow at the 2005 International Chekhov Festival; Garcia Lorca’s "Blood Wedding"; and "Twelfth Night" for the largest student theatre group on campus.  Over the past summer I interned in the costume shops at both The Goodman Theatre and Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in Chicago, IL. She has taught at two summer camps: Hidden Valley Camp in Maine, teaching horseback riding and theatre classes such as improvisation and Shakespeare (and supervised a production of "The Merchant of Venice"). At Harand Camp of the Theatre Arts in Wisconsin I worked as a vocal coach for "Guys and Dolls" and taught classes in stage make-up, improvisation, Shakespeare, script analysis, and scene work.  She loves working with kids who are enthusiastic about theatre. 

VALERIE GLEASON is absolutely delighted to be part of CAP's Youth Theatre Camp! Valerie's other community theater productions have been with Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, where she has acted, done crew, collected props, designed and run sound, but her most favorite role being a children's theater director. Valerie last played a Bride in her December 2007 wedding, and is next looking forward to the role of Mommy with Baby G's schedule debut on November 10, 2008. Valerie would like to congratulate (and say BRAVO!) to all of the campers for their hard work, to thank the other staff for their inspiration, to thank Bill for the opportunity, and to send her love to Steve, Baby G, Mom, Dad, and "the Family" for all their love and support!

STACY BUCK has been doing theatre from the age of eight and is now delighted to help young actors. This is Stacy's second time doing CAP's Summer Workshop and can't wait to teach all new information. Before she stumbled upon this opportunity Stacy was attending Adrian College where she studied theatre and art. She was in numerous performances but her heart was really behind the scenes. Stacy was constructing sets, Stage Managing and preparing costumes left and right. So during this summer Stacy plans to focus on make-up and costumes for the very young actors. She plans on teaching the importance of having (and not having) both as well as expanding their imagination on what certain costume and make-up designs can be used for and what feelings they portray. Stacy can't wait to get started!
