Summer Arts Program enrollment now open

TORRINGTON — Each summer, the Warner Theatre Center For Arts Education offers three exciting opportunities for arts education and enrichment for young people ages 5-16, through the Summer Arts Program. Learn all about the ins and outs of theatre and have a chance to perform in one of our summer productions. Sessions are offered to ages 5-16 and begin on July 9.

Session 1 (July 9-20, ages 7-12) A two-week theatrical journey for our younger campers, brimming with music, acting and choreography and culminating in a fullscale production of Disney’s “The Aristocats Kids” in the Warner Studio Theatre! Based on the beloved Disney animated film and featuring a jazzy, upbeat score, it is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun, complete with unbelievable twists and turns.

Session 2 (July 23-August 3, ages 7-12) Each camp day provides plenty of artistic expression: Acting, Improvisation, Dance, Music, Visual Art, Creative Writing, Crafts, Tech Theatre, and more! Plus a field trip to Lake Compounce theme park. An informal Share Day for family and friends wraps up this fun-filled session.

Session 3 (August 6-18, ages 9-16) A whirlwind two-week theatrical adventure for our older campers as we conduct intensive rehearsals brimming with music, acting, and choreography, culminating in a full-scale production of Disney’s “Mulan Jr.” in the Warner Studio Theatre! Based on Disney’s Oscar-nominated film, it is a heartwarming celebration of culture, honor and the fighting spirit.

A special mini-camp, a convenient one-week half-day sessions for younger campers, is a great way to introduce the fun and exciting world of creative drama, arts and crafts, song and dance. Includes a special field trip to KidsPlay Children’s Museum, as well as a special Share Day performance for family and friends.
