Summer Arts Workshops 2013

Our Summer Arts Workshop is a fun-filled, out-door, adventurous way to learn and grow. It is a place where young people have the opportunity to be creative and build lasting relationships with their peers in a safe, non-competitive environment designed for personal and artistic growth. Our professional staff of artists and educators is dedicated to providing our students with a positive, creative, artistic experience.

Theater in the Open’s Summer Arts Workshop offers choices for a wide range of students. Our two week sessions for young people ages 6 -12 offers fundamentals in acting , movement, visual arts and improvisation, culminating in a short performance at the end of each session. For students ages 9-12 who want a challenge, we offer our six week Performance Class. Participants in this class will be involved in a full scale production from auditions to set building to opening day. We also offer a Teen Intensive Workshop, where students ages 13 – 16 participate in a 4 week intensive process, culminating in a performance that reflects the personal growth and skill development they have undergone.

Aftercare is available from 2 PM to 5 PM for an additional fee of $8 an hour and can be arranged on a week to week basis with the staff member in charge of the program. Limited scholarships are available to qualified families.
