WHAT IS PLAY DAY?
Play Day is an all-day theater workshop scheduled on a teacher workday, national holiday, or parent/teacher conference day.
Students are divided by age into two or three groups (depending upon enrollment).
Each group rotates to acting, games & improv, musical theatre, and crafts.
Classes are high energy, and the day is long for young people.
There are three breaks during the day – mid-morning, lunch, and mid-afternoon.
Students will perform a short skit or musical theatre number at 5:00PM for families.
They will take home a craft project based on our theme for the day.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- •Students need to wear shoes that will stay on feet.
- •If students wear socks, they may walk in stocking feet.
- •Bring a sack lunch that does not require heating or cooling.
- •Please do not send soda, milk, or other drinks that will stain clothing or carpeting.
