Doorways Children's Theatre |
“From the start it has been the theatre’s business to
entertain people … it needs no other passport than fun” - Bertolt Brecht
Fun and play is exactly what is in store with Door
Shakespeare's educational summer program for kids, Doorways: Creating Theatre
For Children.
Founded in 2000, Doorways offers children the opportunity to
explore the power of creativity through developing original theatre pieces.
During each session students will play traditional theatre games, learn
improvisation skills, and experience group acting exercises.
Professional actress Jennefer Ludwigsen will conduct the
workshops with the assistance of Door Shakespeare actors.
This year, the camp will expand to include two
Tuesday-Friday sessions: July 26-29 and August 2-5. Separate classes for children ages 7-11 and for middle
through high school students are offered in the Garden at Bjorklunden (Baileys
Harbor), from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm.
Older students will also focus on skills needed to perform Shakespeare.
Each four-day session will culminate in a presentation that
will precede Door Shakespeare’s Friday night performance of Twelfth Night.
