Curio Theatre Summer Camp
Posted by Samantha Lazar on June 18, 2009
The Calvary Center at 48th and Baltimore is a community hub; you probably know about some of the goings-on that take place there in addition to its more churchly activities. Did you know that it’s the home of Curio Theatre Company? With its offices next door, Curio has taken up residency in the old church’s sanctuary, and offers up all kinds of productions throughout the year (stay tuned for Fringe shows in September!). They also host a summer theatre camp for kids ages 6 – 16.
The camp is offered for two 2-week sessions (send your kid to one or both), in July. Broken into small groups by age, the kids learn theatrical skills from professionals. They play acting games, work on movement techniques (including hip-hop taught by Kyle Clark, whose “Phresh Select” hip-hop group was featured on MTV!), learn script writing, and make costumes and props. Each session culminates in a production for friends and family on the last day of camp.
Now in its fifth season, the camp is expanding and offering more expertise and activities than ever before. A typical day lasts from 9:30 to 3, but they also offer extended hours, from 8:30 to 5:30, for parents who need to jet off to work. Check out their website for more details, and get your budding Broadway star off to a good start (no broken legs necessary)!
