The Purple Rose Theatre Announces Summer Acting Class For Kids

The Purple Rose Theatre Company is proud to announce the addition of a summer acting class for students ages 9 to 12. Kid Purple will be taught by PRTC resident artist Michelle Mountain and culminates with a live showcase performance for friends and family.

Kid Purple, a two-week day camp for children ages 9 to 12, is scheduled for Mondays through Fridays, June 29 through July 10. Class will be held from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the PRTC's rehearsal space in the Chelsea Center for the Arts. Kid Purple encourages children to explore the production process from start to finish in collaboration with professional actors and playwright. Through improvisation games and acting exercises, students create a short play and perform the finished product on the final day of class. Cost for the class is $425.
