DM Playhouse Holds Winter Break Theatre Camp

The Des Moines Playhouse Winter Break Theatre Camp takes students in grades 1-6 Around the World in 5 Days. Classes will be held 9:00 AM-4:00 PM, daily, Dec. 23 and Dec. 28-31. Students may attend all five days or any combination of days. Registration for all five days is $160 for Playhouse subscribers and $200 for non-subscribers. Registration for individual days is $45 for Playhouse subscribers and $50 for non-subscribers. Before- and after-care is available for an additional fee. Students do need to bring a lunch.

Around the World in 5 Days is a creative theatre workshop. Students learn more about theatre by taking a voyage around the world to explore the culture, stories, and songs of different countries. Each day features a different theme: Ireland, Wednesday, Dec. 23; Australia, Monday, Dec. 28; Zimbabwe, Tuesday, Dec. 29; Germany, Wednesday, Dec. 30; and India, Thursday, Dec. 31.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities
