CHILDREN'S SUMMER DRAMA CAMP

          JUNE 18 - JULY 15

                  CLASS MONDAYS - THURSDAYS

                  SHOWS

SATURDAY, JULY 14 & SUNDAY, JULY 15

Does your child light up with the thought of being on stage?

All levels of interest welcome!

Students age 5-18 meet in the indoor theatre Monday through Thursday. They will present a full-fledge musical for the finale, July 14 and 15.  Family and friends are welcome to attend! Students learn theatre techniques, script and vocal work, choreography, costuming, set design, lighting, sound concepts, prop and stage managing and many other aspects of a production. Ages 5-11 meet 12:00 noon-2:00 pm ($150). Ages 11-18 meet 9:00 am - 2:00 pm ($220). For the 2012 summer, students will be working on and starring in their very own OKLAHOMA! musical July 14 and 15. (This is separate from the June 15-July 1 OKLAHOMA!, in which adults auditioned.) To preregister your child for drama camp, send (email, fax or mail) registration form (button link above) or contact park with student’s name, grade (in the Fall) and phone number.
