Checking In On Theatre Camp

My pal Jonathan Joy sent along this information, and with his permission I'm passing it along to you, gentle reader. He wrote:

My wife Rissie and I are wrapping up a week long theatre camp at the Huntington Museum of Art on Friday.

It's hard to believe this is our seventh straight summer doing this. At this point, I've been teaching longer than many of the students have been alive. Our end-of-week showcase will feature 28 kids (ages 5-8) performing a variety of scenes/skits that they have worked on throughout the week. The performance will be held at 1:00 p.m. Friday afternoon and will feature plays such as The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, Where the Wild Things Are and much more. It is free and open to the public and should make for an entertaining hour of uninhibited and fun youth theatre. We're looking to have our biggest audience ever in the Grace Rardin Doherty Auditorium. Wish us luck!

Also, I'll be returning to Saturday KidsArt at the Museum this weekend. For anyone out there with youngsters, this is a great (and free!) program for students ages 4-10. It runs from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon every Saturday and features lots of activities in art, music, drama, dance and more. I've been working with the SKA crew on and off for nearly seven years and we always have a lot of fun. Spread the word!

Consider it spread! So there you go - two free, fun programs at the museum for kids, and a great learning opportunity, too! Thanks, Jon!
