Schoolhouse Arts Education Program is gearing up for its
much-anticipated summer youth Dinosaurs
Before Dark Kids” performs Friday August, 4 through Sunday August, 6
followed by “Once on this Island
Jr.” performing August Friday, 18 to Sunday, August 20.
During each two-week session, campers pull together an
entire show while focusing on stage presence, character development, vocal
technique, performing a story and working with their fellow performers.
Preparing the next generation of performers is not something Mr. Bates takes
lightly. “It’s important to instill solid technique and theater etiquette
while maintaining a fun learning environment. It’s never too early to learn
good habits.”
Talking to campers, his philosophy seems to be
working. “I always have fun, no matter what. I love working with
Dillon and my talented peers, “said Nicole Adler, age 9 of Falmouth.
“I get to be someone new. It’s fun!” – Spencer
Pahigan, age 6 of Saco.
“Working with Dillon is an adventure,” said Montana
Leslie, age 11 of Gorham. “ He is the perfect amount of learning and fun. I’ve
been coming to camp for 3 years, and I always learn something new.”
Want to check out their hard work for yourself? Tickets
