Registration is underway for the Nineteenth Annual Children’s Summer Drama Camp at the Prairie Arts Center for children entering 2nd-9th grades. Camp will run Monday-Friday, July 11-22, from 2-5 PM.

The camp cost is $95 with special rates for siblings. Need-based scholarships are also available upon request for those who meet the criteria.

Drama Camp at the PAC culminates at 5:30 PM on July 22 in a performance of an original play written specifically for the campers and, to a large extent, tailored to the needs and abilities of the campers.

Campers name their own production. Children get the hands-on experience of creating a show, from set and light work to costuming to performing. Past theater-learning topics have included theatrical accents, sets, Shakespeare, costuming, stage make-up, mime, choreography for the stage, stage lighting and design, musical theater , and opera. Camp activities also include theater and mprovisational games like one might see on the television show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?".

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 drama programming, 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.

Payment is expected by July 1. Please make checks payable to Rachel Gorenz-Johnson. Checks and registration forms can be returned to:
