Summer Arts Workshops 2008
 Welcome to Theater in the Open's Summer Arts Workshop! Our Summer Arts Workshop is a fun-filled, sun-kissed, magical and creative way to learn and grow. The Summer Arts Workshop 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 are dedicated to providing our students with a positive, creative, artistic experience.
Theater in the Open's Summer Arts Workshop offers several 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 Production Workshop, where students ages 13— - 16 participate in a 4 week intensive process that always proves to be production worth a standing ovation. Is your 5 year old a natural born performer? If so, Theater in the Open is offering a beginners class for those young people who are Reaching for the Stars!
The Summer Arts Workshop takes place at the Coachman Property in Maudslay State Park with a summer camp atmosphere on 4 acres which provide a beautiful stable barn for inclement weather, stunning views of the Merrimack River and lots of outdoor space to run and play. This secluded section of Maudslay provides our students with a safe place to grow where they can enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds them, in an inspirational learning environment. Theater in the Open's dedicated staff is looking forward to sharing our artistic knowledge with our students this summer. Directions to Maudslay and additional information will be sent along with the confirmation letter of your child's enrollment.
