And They Act, Sing and Dance, too!

Last week I shared pictures from our acting workshops - a new summer program feature. The workshops provide an 'acting' introduction to our summer theatre camps. In one week 25+ students work together to perform full-length dramatic or musical productions.

We keep numbers pretty low so each student gets a speaking/singing role and a specific task during production.

Our camps promote team work, responsibility and self accountability (okay, and a lot of fun, too!). Every child has a job, from character role to strike duties. Team work gets the job done!

You won't find fancy costumes or sets at Creative Arts. That's not our style. We feel it's more important for kids to experience the entire production by making props, sets and costumes. When the show ends, kids are extremely proud of what they accomplished, and parents enjoy the life lessons we teach!

Acting requires confidence. We feel creating actors means building a child's self confidence. That's why each student has other responsibilities in addition to character roles. Plus it's more fun, too! It is a challenge, yes, but we feel they can handle it - and they always do!
