Tricycle Theatre for Youth Announces Spring Break Camp

Sunday, March 8th, 2009


Tricycle Theatre for Youth (The Trike), a professional theatre company for young people and families, is gearing up for hilarious Spring Break!

Students in grades 3rd-8th will have the opportunity to Make Them Laugh!  This Comedy Improv Performance camp lasts one week, March 23- March 27, from 8:30am-3:00pm at Tricycle Theatre for Youth (120 S. Main St. Bentonville). 

 

Students acting in Trike’s Make Them Laugh! performance camp will have audiences rolling on the floor through their comedic scenes, physical comedy routines and musical theatre numbers. The camp is taught by Virginia Scheuer, a trained theatre professional who studied physical comedy in Italy and earned her MFA in Acting from University of Arkansas.  Virginia was last seen in Theatresquared’s fall comedy Moonlight and Magnolias.  All of Trike’s classes and camps are informed by educational best practices and integrate Arkansas literacy/reading state standards into its curricula.  Parents and friends will be invited to watch the students’ final performance on the last day of camp. Cost is $200 ($190 for Trikesters).

 

Registration is available on-line at www.triketheatre.org.  Space is limited!
