Winchester Theatre Camp Presents 'Mulan'

Currently in its 33rd season, the is once again gearing up for its annual summer camp.

The five-week program provides students entering grades three through nine with various opportunities to perform both for their peers and for the community, as well as promoting the confidence and enthusiasmto be on stage. The company continually strives to offer a comprehensive approach to theatre by finding ways to harness creativity through performance and applying skills to everyday life.

With a staff of returning Co-op alumni who constantly encourage inventiveness, it is easy to see that this program has always had a lasting impression on its energetic participants.

This summer, the camp offers two weeks of shorter one-act musical productions for campers to perform in, complete with musical numbers and dance. The final three weeks will be spent on small group scene-work as well as improvisational workshop sand games. The entire camp will simultaneously be working to put together the large production at the end of camp, and this year the summer culminates with Mulan based onthe 1998 Disney film.

Please mark your calendars for July 26 and 27 at the auditorium. Performances will be at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. each day. All tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door. For more information, please call 781-729-0224.
