| Centre Stage July 21—July 25, 2008 July 28—August 1, 2008 |
| Overview
Centre Stage explores the exciting world of theater arts through a variety of activities, projects and performances. In each session, children are guided through the play production process, from the first reading of the script to the final bows. Early in the week, students are cast in a play and practice basic performance skills by participating in theater games, improvisation, scene work, and playwriting exercises. Throughout the session, they rehearse their parts and experiment with the technical aspects of theater, including sets, costumes, props, make-up, lighting and sound. Finally ready for performance, the cast will present their production to family and friends on the stage of Milton Academy’s King Theatre.
