About the event

Is your child a budding actor who enjoys the outdoors? We've got just the right opportunity for them: our Theater in the Park drop-off program! Over the course of three days, we'll practice skits and work together to create performances with a "Wild About Nature" theme. We'll have a final production of our work on the last day for your family to enjoy! No experience necessary - just bring your energy and enthusiasm! For ages 7-13. Be sure your child eats lunch before coming to the program! Dress for the weather and bring a full water bottle and hearty snack for each day. Meet at the Cypress Shelter. Please be sure to register your child for all three days of the program! Also, register everyone in your household who will be attending Saturday's performance.
