PPT Adds Third Disney's FROZEN Camp to Summer Lineup, 6/23-27

Due to popular demand, Piedmont Players will be adding a 3rd FROZEN Camp for Elementary Students to the summer schedule. The camp will take place from June 23-27 from 9am-2pm at the Norvell Theater. As a result of both Elementary Camps selling out, PPT's Education Committee decided to add a 3rd Camp to accommodate the waiting list and any additional campers. To register for the remaining FROZEN musical camp call 704-633-5471.

ABOUT THE CAMP: "Do you want to build a snowman"? Come this summer and learn the songs, try on some new steps, and be charmed by the music of Disney's newest sensation. Spend a week learning the rich music of Disney's "Frozen." It will be great fun and we hope you will join Gwen for a week you won't soon forget. Instructor: Gwen Matthews.
