Center Stage Youth Theatre

Posts Tagged ‘Day Camps’

Center Stage Youth Theatre will be in residence at the Grace Church in Rutland VT this summer, July 9 – August 4, to offer 4 weeks of day camps for kids in grades K-2, 3-6 and 7-12.  The K-2′ers and the 3-6′ers will each meet for two weeks of mornings with a performance on the last day of camp, and the 7-12th graders will be working with me on a Shakespeare Intensive, rehearsing every afternoon for all four weeks with two performances at the end of the session.

 

The little ones will be working on a musical based on a Native American legend, Coyote Steals the Summer, and I am leaning towards the Tempest for the olders, though that is not yet written in stone!  The middle guys I am not sure about yet, though we had great fun with exploring Greek Myths about 6 years ago and I am looking at doing that again maybe this summer – The Greeks ONstage!

 

Stay tuned…

Once it was winter all of the time…Summer was trapped in a bag inside a tipi at the snow’s edge (a very, very long long way from here). This Native American tale tells how Coyote brings summer to the world and earns his famous gift of trickery as a reward. Our fifteen minute musical version of this delightful story from the Crow Nation is designed especially for K-third grade.  The little ones will have a chance to rehearse, create costumes and sets, and perform for loved ones on the last day of camp!  This performing arts camp is ideal for children with learning differences or unique learning needs, as well as students with traditional learning styles.  For more information or to register call Center Stage Director Susan Scaccia at at 803-796-7622 ext. 216, 803-206-4924 or visit http://glenforest.org/summercamps.

Arnold Lobel’s well loved characters hop from page to stage in this musical adaptation, which remains true to the sprit of the original books as it  follows the great friends, the cheerful and popular frog and the rather grumpy frog, through four fun filled seasons!  We will rehearse, design costumes and sets and finally perform for family and friends on the last day of camp! This performing arts camp is ideal for children with learning differences or unique learning needs, as well as students with traditional learning styles.  For more information or to register call Center Stage Director Susan Scaccia at at 803-796-7622 ext. 216, 803-206-4924 or visit http://glenforest.org/summercamps.

This summer come and spend two weeks with Center Stage and work with us creating a production of Fables and Folk Tales from around the world.  Students will choose their favorite scripts from American and International traditional tales, and then design and create scenery, costumes and props, as we turn our studio classroom into a fully functional studio theatre, with the entire production rehearsed, designed, and finally performed on the last day of camp by our students for the public. This performing arts camp is ideal for children with learning differences or unique learning needs, as well as students with traditional learning styles.  For more information or to register call Center Stage Director Susan Scaccia at at 803-796-7622 ext. 216, 803-206-4924 or visit http://glenforest.org/summercamps.

 

 

I drove this morning to St. Anne’s school in Sumter where I am going to be doing my first set of day camps this summer during the second two weeks in June.  The visit was just a chance for me to see the performance space and meet the principal and a couple of the other faculty members.

I was met at the door by  the young Mama of one of the Charlotte’s Web goslings – she was the person who had the idea to hold the camp at St. Anne’s.    It was great to see her again – her little red headed gosling is  first grader there -  and let me tell you that she has been invaluable in helping me get this camp opportunity off the ground.

Where would youth theatre be without these wonderful parents?
It was a great visit!
