For Immediate Release Media Contact: Lesley Budny Marketing Director 860-489-7180 x 261 lbudny@warnertheatre.org The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Partners with the Warner Theatre as the Warner's 2019 Summer Arts Program Sponsor Torrington, CT The Warner Theatre is pleased to announce The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation as the sponsor of the Warner Theatre's 2019 Summer Arts Program. The Warner Theatre Summer Arts Program is a key feature of the Warner Theatre's Center for Arts Education. Established in 1993, the Warner Theatre Summer Arts Program is a summer day camp licensed by the State of CT Department of Public Health where students ages 5-16 can explore and develop their artistic talents in an atmosphere of encouragement, enrichment, and enlightenment. The goal of the Program is to provide children and teens with an opportunity to explore a wide variety of performing and visual arts in a place where self-esteem and confidence can be nurtured and discovered. Our faculty members cite regional, national and international teaching and performing credits and all have experience communicating their diverse knowledge to children. Students engage in daily activities such as Acting, Improv, Musical Theatre Choreography, Tap Dance, Visual Art, Creative Writing, Technical Theatre, and much more. The Summer Arts Program offers three two-week sessions, chock-full of learning and fun, with an opportunity to perform at the end of each session. Older campers will have the opportunity to culminate their two week session with a full scale musical production. And for our youngest campers ages 5-6, we offer two Mini Camp sessions each consisting of one-week half-day sessions. A great way to introduce the fun and exciting world of drama, song and dance and more! About the Warner Theatre Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat Studio Theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season. Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
