1. Let's Make Up - Aug. 10 at 9 a.m.
Without the support of visual image, the most talented of actors can portray only a narrow spectrum of characters. Make-up is the foundation and the most basic visual image for all performers. This participatory workshop teaches students of all ages by demonstrating corrective, old age and fantasy make-up. Grade level: Entering 1st grade -12th grade. Maximum participants: 60

2. Chameleon Improv - Aug. 11 at 9 a.m.
Participation is emphasized as the students learn to act without a script. This workshop can be geared to all levels of students from beginners to more experienced young actors. Grade level: 3rd -12th. Maximum participants: 60

3. The Rhythm is Gonna Get You - Aug. 12 at 9 a.m. From simple sounds and rhythms to choreographed songs, young students explore how music can be used in theatrical performance (and just for fun). Grade Level: Entering 1st grade - 2nd. Maximum participants: 30
