Summer Theatre Camp

North Frontenac Little Theatre | May 31, 2017

As part of our Canada 150 programme, the North Frontenac Little Theatre is hosting a theatre camp for youth culminating in a presentation to celebrate our heritage entitled “Skits and Songs for a Summer Evening”. The presentation will be in conjunction with the North Frontenac Community Services annual barbecue at the Sharbot Lake Beach, Thursday, August 17, that runs from roughly 4 pm to 7 pm.

The preparatory youth theatre camp will run from Tuesday, August 8 to Wednesday, August 16 from 1 pm to 4 pm daily (excluding the weekend) at the NFLT Tichborne Hall. Online registrationopens  June 1st through NFLT’s website. We can accommodate between ten and fifteen children, ages eight or nine up to twelve or thirteen years old.

Youth camp activities, under the direction of Brian Robertson and Andrea Dickinson, will include aspects of dramatic and visual arts along with singing and some basic choreography, all in preparation for our culminating presentation of "Skits and Songs for a Summer Evening".

We will also require several camp counsellors between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. Counsellors would help with the organization of materials, set-up and the coaching of participants with their roles. They may even be invited to join in on the acting or singing! Secondary school community service hours will be readily acknowledged.

Registration fee will be $5 per person. Participants will be asked to bring a snack and drink, and to be ready and willing to avail themselves of an outhouse when nature calls as there is no plumbing in the hall!

Looking forward to seeing you this summer to celebrate our heritage and to have some fun!

Happy Canada 150!
