Central Park Players
Youth Day Camp to Start June 9, 2008

(REGISTRATION CLOSED)

CPP Family Theatre Day Camp has a full registration for its first summer season.  Our young actors will have the unique opportunity to work with an artist in residence who is the founder, director, actor and playwright of his own theatre, Corn Productions, in Chicago, IL. 

Students who take part in the program will not only learn about working onstage, but they will have the opportunity gain insight from someone who has built their own theatre from the ground up and knows what it takes to survive in the competitive world of professional theatre.

Day camp rehearsals will run from June 9 to June 26.

Day camp participants will be giving three performances of the Michigan premiere of Mileep and the Attack of the Jellybean People, by Robert Bouwman and Todd Schaner at the Grand Haven Community Center at 7 PM June 27 and 28, with a matinee on Saturday, June 28.
