Creativity Camps - June 7-11 /

July 5-9 / Aug. 2-6, Monday

through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 12:30

p.m., ages 4-6 Director -

Mandy Richardson

The student’s (age 4-6) innate tal-

ents and creative imagination will

be developed through various the-

atre games, daily crafts built

around a theme of cartoon mania

and other fun filled activities. The

summer camps are different from

our curriculum semester studies.

They are designed to playfully

entertain and enlighten the young

artist during his/her summer vaca-

tion by emphasizing the fun in all

the activities. Yet parents may be

assured that vocal clarity, stage

movement, and stage presence

will be a continued goal from our

DCTTS’ semester studies.

Specific summer themes will be:

June/ Scooby Doo, July/ Sponge

Bob, Aug./ Flintstones

Cost: $200 per week (plus $25

non-refundable registration fee)

Special Discount - Register for all

3 weeks for $525

Director - John Evarts

THE PLAY’S THE THING will

become the lesson learned by the

students of our acting camps this

summer.

Students (ages 7-9) will find that

their strength as a performer finds

its basis in the merit and quality of

a well

developed story of dimensional

characters. Working four hours a

day for only five days, these

young performers will produce a

short one-act play for their family

and friends. The students involved

will receive training in the ele-

mentary techniques of characteri-

zation, finding that “memorization

is not characterization;” but rather,

that becoming the character for

brief moments in time brings both

belief for oneself and the audi-

ence. Thus, the young performer

will be transformed into a young

artist as they learn the magical

truth of theatre that the “play’s the

thing.”

Cost: $250 per week (plus $25

non-refundable registration fee)

Special Discount - Register for all

three weeks for a total of $675
