Summer Sessions

Exploring new avenues of music

Participants from the 2022 Summer Music Theatre camp rehearse and perform selections from the musical Annie.

A TASTE OF MUSICAL THEATRE

AN INTRODUCTION TO THEATRE BASICS

Come get a “Tasting Of Music Theatre” as A Child’s Song debuts its 2024 Summer Theatre Camp. This week’s camp focus will be on the musical “Me, My Monsters and I”.

Description: This theater camp playfully explores the emotions in our bodies and the feelings that come with each emotion. We will explore our feelings through mindful coloring sheets, we will answer questions about ourselves, listen to music, dance, sing, and let our real-life emotions guide our feeling monsters. This camp is designed to be a Creative Drama class that will conclude with a Parent Share on Saturday. The students will not be expected to memorize their sample script, but utilize the literature to further explore their feelings’ monster intentions and how to regulate the emotions and feelings in a healthy way.

All students will get to participate in a special performance on Saturday as we bring all that has been learned to the stage!
