Reviews
- July 20, 2009"My daughter participated in the Youth Theater Lab this summer July 2009 and loved it! Her lab was a circus theme and the instructors were energetic, dramatic, and very fun. The children gave a performance at the end of the session that involved every child and was a creative expression of what they had been learning all week. I would highly recommend this camp to a family who is looking for a handson drama camp for school age children. According to my 8 year old daughter, I liked the theme of the circus and it was really fun to do. The teachers were nice to us and I learned how to act without using words."- Patcher
