Session II: July 28-Aug. 9, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. or 1-4 p.m.

Summer Acting Workshop is a two-week introduction to theatre for students new to South Coast Repertory. Kids and teens build self-esteem and confidence and make new friends within their peer groups-grades 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-12.

Each day begins with an invigorating all-camp warm-up. Class time follows, as students join their age groups for two lively hours of interactive instruction in voice, movement, character development and more-led by SCR's staff of theatre professionals. The final hour is spent with special guests who bring to life various aspects of theatre, such as design, improvisation, combat, singing and playwriting-it's something different every day. The two-week program concludes with students sharing their work onstage in a demonstration project for invited family and friends.

TUITION: All classes are $330 per two-week session. To receive a sibling discount, enroll by mail or phone, call 714-708-5577.

Throughout the class, emphasis will placed be on healthy use of the voice.

Working with their classmates as an ensemble, students will have fun playing improv games and creating scenes on the spot.

Late one night, three children wake up to find Peter Pan searching for his shadow-in their nursery! Because they love adventure, off they go-with the boy who refuses to grow up-all the way to Neverland, where they meet the Lost Boys, battle Tiger Lily and her tribe, and escape from pirates led by the dasterdly Captain Hook. Let your imagination fly with them-because soon it will be time for all of us to grow up. This is the 110th anniversary of J.M. Barrie's beloved classic -and the 60th anniversary of the award-winning Broadway musical! We'll sprinkle pixie dust as we celebrate Peter Pan with SCR's Summer Players, a group of talented young actors who audition for roles in this annual summer production after at least a year in the Theatre Conservatory. If you believe in fairies, join us!
