Theatre--Summer Camp/Workshop

For parents looking for a summer activity that is focused not only on fun but on learning as well, Firelight Children’s Theatre has a perfect solution. For every summer in the past five years, the organization’s director, Laura Blum has presented a series of summer day-camps with a focus on performing arts. The camps are broken into two interest groups: all phases of acting, and Broadway-style singing.

The acting camp for children ages 5 through 8 starts on July 20 to August 2. T’Lights will meet on Monday through Thursday from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. With the exception of the final performance, all activities will take place in Firelight Children’s Theatre in Milton. The campers will learn acting, dancing and singing skills, along with memorization techniques, while working on a musical production of Mable’s Fables, which will be performed at Cite des Arts on July 31st and August 1st at 7:00 p.m. and on August 1 and 2 at 3:00 p.m.. In 2005, troupe members performed Mable’s Fables, which was written by Laura Blum, at Orlando’s Disney World.

Performers age 9 and above will enjoy the Firelight Children’s Theatre Camp, which will present Pinocchio as their play. Campers will learn acting, dancing, and singing, along with memorization techniques while working on the musical production. The camp will be held from July 13 to August 2nd on Mondays through Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Milton, LA. Pinocchio will be performed, along with Mable’s Fables, on July 31 and August 1.
