QUILCENE — Thanks to a Jefferson Community Foundation grant, scholarships are available now for a new youth theater camp set for Aug. 14-15 in Quilcene’s Worthington Park.
Key City Public Theatre is offering two workshops for two age groups. For children 8 to 12 years old, camp sessions will go from 9 a.m. to noon both days; the sessions for teens 13 to 17 will go from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
These camps are for youngsters with any level of theater experience including beginners, noted Brendan Chambers, Key City’s artistic associate and co-teacher of youth programs.
Teaching artists Bry Kifolo, Consuelo Aduviso Brennan and Maggie Bulkley will join Chambers in leading theater games and exploring mime, dance, storytelling and character development. Students will rehearse a short performance piece they will present, on the park’s Linger Longer Stage, to their peers and family at the end of the second day.
For details about the instructors, scholarships and registration, see key citypublictheatre.org, phone 360-385-5278 or email info@keycitypublictheatre.org.
The youth theater program team is interested in collaborating with local schools on future programs, Bulkley added. With the Key City Playhouse closed for remodeling, the theater company is channeling resources toward year-round theater education around Jefferson County.
