Educational Theatre
Wilson's love for theatre began in middle school, where he not only took part in his school's theatre department, but enrolled in many summer theatre camps as well. Now as a young adult, Wilson has returned to Berry Middle School, but as a registered Hoover City Schools employee! Wilson has specialized as a summer camp counselor for HCS for the past five years in a row, and has worked as a scenic designer, carpenter, artist, and supplemental educator for the school for two years. Wilson has also worked as a scenic instructor for the camps, leading a group of kids as they work as a team to paint and build a set in just one week! A visual artist at heart, Wilson loved the many theatre camps he attended as a child, however he often lamented the performance centered structure of the many camps he attended. It gives Wilson great joy to know that through the "Drama Daze" advanced tech theatre camp, he was able to give a few members of our next generation the educational experience he so desperately wished he had at their age. He is excited to announce he is about to finish working on his tenth "Drama Daze" camp later this July!
