The Prairie Arts Council is pleased to announce registration for the Seventeenth Annual Children’s Summer Drama Camp for children entering 2nd-9th grades. Camp runs for two weeks, June 10-21 for three hours, from 2-5 PM. There will also be an afternoon camp running July 29-August 9 if there is sufficient interest. The camp cost is $95 with special rates for siblings. Need based scholarships are also available upon request for those who meet the criteria.
Each camp session culminates in the performance (5:30 PM on June 21 and August 9 to accommodate working parents) of an original play written specifically for the campers and, to a large extent, tailored to the needs and abilities of the campers. Campers in each session of camp name their own production. Children get the hands-on experience of creating a show, from set and light work to costuming to performing.
Camp activities also include theater and improvisational games like you might see on the television show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and good, old fashioned "camp" games like Telephone. Snacks are served daily.
Children’s theater programming at PAC has always been about more than just theater skills. We strive to offer a safe, wholesome environment in which children can learn, grow, and have fun. Over the many years that we have run the summer drama camps as well as other children’s dramaprogramming, we have been privileged to witness the transformation of many of our children from ducklings to beautiful, talented swans. Fostering the growth of our community’s children is the greatest benefit of PAC children’s theater programming.
