Rising Stars Theater Experience returns
GUILFORD — Shoreline Arts Alliance is excited to offer the extremely popular Rising Stars Theater Experience again this summer for children ages 7-15. Rising Stars will be held at the Nathanael B. Greene Community Center located in Guilford, for two, one-week sessions, AuG. 6-10 and Aug. 13-17. Each session will culminate in a performance by the children. Each week will center around a theme for the performance pieces, with the first being “Joy” and the second being “Peace”. We are thrilled to welcome teaching artists from Branford’s Legacy Theatre to work with the young artists of Rising Stars.
