Adventure Stage Chicago (ASC) and Victory Gardens Theater (VG) are partnering for two creative mask workshops designed to keep kids engaged during their school's holiday break in recognition of Lincoln's Birthday (Feb. 12) and President's Day (Feb 15).

HOLIDAY DRAMA KIDS MASK WORKSHOP I
Fri., Feb. 12, 9am-1pm

HOLIDAY DRAMA KIDS MASK WORKSHOP II

ASC at Vittum Theater, 1012 N. Noble St., Chicago
Kids explore physical mask work via neutral and character masks, culminating in a performance on the ASC stage for friends and family. Light snacks provided.

Each workshop is $20 per day, per child. ASC Passport to Adventure holders save 25%. (For more information on ASC's Passport to Adventure, visit www.adventurestage.org.) Both workshops are recommended for children ages 8 and older.

The Holiday Drama Kids pilot program was launched last season with three workshops designed to provide parents with an affordable creative outlet for their children during days when school is closed. The workshops were an instant success, each filling to capacity. This season, VG and ASC have expanded the program.
