Following
two weeks of instruction from skilled theatre artisans, more than 80 youngsters
prepared, wrote and presented several short plays at the culmination of
WB's annual 2004 Theatre Camp, July 19-31. The Showcase Recital presented
on the final night was the culmination of learning and preparation by
the campers.
Elementary students wrote and performed an original play while middle-schoolers
were divided into groups to produce several smaller productions.
The high school group performed excerpts from well known plays such as
works from Shakespeare.
"Every
year I'm amazed at how much these students learn and improve then are
able to showcase their talent on stage the final night," said Tamara
McGinnis, the camp's director. "All of the plays depicted an aspect
of friendship which coincided with our "Circle of Friends"
camp theme this year. These young people were amazing and a joy for our
staff to teach."
