Youth will work towards performing in The Summer Musical, The Wiz Jr as part of the ensemble cast. Reader’s Theater is a reading strategy that allows children to merge a child’s love of playing, performing, and the all-important skill of oral reading. This summer youth will improve their confidence in reading aloud and embodying different characters. Usually performed with minimal costumes and props. We hope to instill confidence and comfort in our young people while they explore and make connections with others. Students will also rotate throughout the day to music (singing) and dance classes where they will learn the basics and exploring their interest in the arts. Performances: August 6 & 7 (6 pm) *Youth will not be expected to memorize lines and will perform while reading from their script, as needed.
