Center for Arts Education offers summer arts program

TORRINGTON — Each summer, the Warner Theatre Center For Arts Education offers three opportunities for arts education and enrichment for young people ages 5-16, through the Summer Arts Program. Children can learn the ins and outs of theatre and have a chance to perform in a summer production. Sessions are offered to ages 5-16 and begin on July 8.

Session 1, July 8-19, ages 7-12: A two-week theatrical journey for our younger campers, brimming with music, acting and choreography and culminating in a full-scale production of Disney’s “Winnie the Pooh Kids” in the studio theatre.

Session 2, July 22-August 2, ages 7-12: Each camp day is chock-full of artistic expression: Acting, Improvisation, Dance, Music, Visual Art, Creative Writing, Crafts, Tech Theatre, plus a field trip to Lake Compounce theme park. An informal Share Day for family and friends wraps the session.

Session 3, Aug. 5-17, 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 “Little Mermaid Jr.” in the Warner’s Studio Theatre.

Mini camp sessions for younger campers are also available with creative drama, songs, arts & crafts, games and a special field trip to Kidsplay Children’s Museum on Main Street. A special Share Day performance for family and friends ends each mini-session.
