Kids Perform at Palace

Pirates meet Polar Bears … kittens have an adventure … a family travels to mystical Arcadia land. The Palace Theater presents these works at the third annual Act UP, Youth Theater Camp production Friday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m.

Kids participating in the three camp sessions (Session 1: 6-7 year olds, Session 2: 8-10 year olds, Session 3: 11-15 year olds) have been busy creating stories, making sets and costumes, composing songs, and rehearsing. The doors open at 6 p.m.

Tickets are available for only $5 per person or $15 per family of four. Following the performance audience members are invited to meet the cast.

The campers have worked hard and had fun while taking on tasks involved with producing a live theater production; including creating the storyline, character development, blocking, positioning and voice projection, set, light and sound design, costuming, and props.

The older campers have created their own one-acts called Arcadia and The Battle of the Polar Pops. The youngest campers are performing the play, A Kittens Adventure, adapted from the story written by Sarah Weyland-Smith, Sherrill. Sarah entered her story, Molly, in the Hamilton Library and Colgate Bookstore writing contest this past April. The short plays are appropriate for ages 4 and older, however all are welcome.
