This allows each young actor to receive individual attention and coaching, while being part of an exciting, dynamic ensemble.

Offering 12 different week long sessions this summer from June 9-August 29, 2008, children will spend one week rehearsing and recording a radio play adapted from a book of classic literature. This year's titles include: "The Prince and the Pauper," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Anne of Avonlea."

Ages:
Entering 3rd through 10th grades.
