Theatre, anyone?
June 1, 2012 by Scott Klepach
“All the world’s a stage!”
So says the character Jacques in Shakespeare’s play As You Like It.
With that in mind, if you can’t travel the world, then make the world come to life with theatre!
This summer there are several programs available for your kids to get in the stage spotlight.
Eisenhower High School will host its Eisenhower Summer Drama Camp June 18-22. The camp, which runs from 9 a.m.-noon each day, is intended for kids 6-13.
Participants will learn the ins and outs of the stage, including acting, dancing, singing, improvisation, props and costuming.
A “Grand Finale” show will be held at 11:30 a.m. on June 22, the last day of the camp.
The cost is $68 per child, which includes a daily snack and a camp T-shirt.
The drama unfolds at Ike’s Little Theatre, located at 702 S. 40th Ave. in Yakima. Call 509-833-7676 for more info.
