About
Homegrown Theatre Camp is a partnership between First Ensemble artists and Blixt Locally Grown. We offer young people scripts, exercises and knowledge so that they can make a play in their own homes. Our videos and resources are free, and can be accessed at any time. Our camps provide structure, covering performance techniques, script analysis and tech tips, in a simple week-long format, and can work around any kids’ schedule.
Mackenzie Davenport - Creator & Host
Mackenzie is a theatre director and writer. He speaks enough German to get around but not enough to get anywhere in particular. Mackenzie is a recipient of the Mayor's Arts Award for Youth Achievement from the Lincoln Arts Council, as well as an array of participation trophies from his sporting endeavors.
Sasha Sepahpur - Videographer & Editor
Sasha studies film at McGill University. That’s in Canada. But make no mistake, he is proudly Nebraska homegrown. When he’s not busy working on new stories, he’s likely craving pizza.
Mack & Sasha are joined by a talented group of young performers, writers, and more in Homegrown Theatre Camp, including Raimy Washington, Kaedyn Campbell, Chandler Boyte, Alaina Conner, Aidan Cummins, Emily Gardner, Kelsey Davenport, Anthony Delaney, Karina Hinkley, Katie Evans & Ryan Furlong.
Blixt Locally Grown is a Nebraska nonprofit organization focusing on arts-based community building. Its programs are supported by Nebraska Community Foundation, the Peter Kiewit Foundation, Humanities Nebraska, Nebraska Arts Council, and Nebraska Cultural Endowment
