Summer Arts Workshops 2012
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 Intensive Workshop, where students ages 13 - 16 participate in a 4 week intensive process, culminating in a production that is always worth a standing ovation.
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 Kelley Knight, the staff member in charge of the program. Kelley is a dedicated educator and certified Montessori teacher.
Limited scholarships are available to qualified families thanks in part to a generous grant from Newburyport's Institution for Savings.
