Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Announces 2011 Summer Theatre Day Camp

Are you looking for something for your child to do this summer that is fun and educational? The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park still has spots available in its popular Summer Theatre Day Camp.

Classes provide fun and in-depth explorations of a broad range of acting skills. In addition to an acting class, campers also take two other classes in related areas such as improvisation, movement, circus performance, stage combat, musical theatre and television acting. Ryan Archibald of Chicago's legendary The Second City will teach improvisation for campers entering grades 5 through 12. All other classes are taught by local theatre professionals and educators.

Classes are available for children entering grades 1 through 12. All classes take place in a friendly and non-intimidating learning environment. No previous acting or performing experience is required to participate. The final day of camp culminates with a demonstration for an audience of family and friends.

The creative dramatics camp (for children entering grade 1 or 2) is offered in one-week sessions, taking place the weeks of June 20, June 27, July 11, July 18, July 25 and August 1. The cost is $100.
All other half-day camp sessions for students entering grades 3 through 12 run for two weeks on the following dates: June 20 - July 1, July 11 - July 22 and July 25 - August 5. The cost for these camps is $275. A very limited number of scholarships are available based on financial need.

With each camp registration, parents will receive one free ticket (up to a $62 value) to the 11/12 Marx Theatre season, excluding A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Some restrictions apply.

The Playhouse is supported, in part, by the generosity of the tens of thousands of individuals and businesses that give to ArtsWave.

The Ohio Arts Council helps fund The Playhouse with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

The Playhouse also receives funding from the City of Cincinnati and The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
