Registration Now Open for Little Mountain Community Theatre's Super Hero Camp and Acting Workshop

—Submitted by Little Mountain Community Theatre

If your holiday shopping list includes someone who enjoys being center stage, registration for two popular summer theatre programs is beginning just in time for holiday gift giving.

Little Mountain Community Theatre NFP will once again partner with Artful IMPACT! to offer youth, teens, and young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities, and autism the opportunity to experience the hands-on “magic” of being a super hero as part of a weeklong Super Hero Camp. Campers will rotate through workshops featuring specific powers or traits of a super hero while working with theatre professionals, social workers, and trained volunteers.

The camp will be held June 22 through 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Lemont High School Performing Arts Center, 800 Porter Street, Lemont. Tuition is $300 and space is limited. Online registration is now open at www.artfulimpact.org. To view film footage from Super Hero Camp 2014 visit www.artfulimpact.org/calendar/.

Also back by popular demand is LMCT’s Acting Workshop for students entering grades 2 through 7. Due to interest in last summer’s workshop, there will be two sessions in 2015. Both sessions will be held from June 8 through 19 Mondays through Fridays. A morning session will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and an afternoon session from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the LHS PAC.

Participants will experience a total theatrical immersion while rehearsing a junior version of Disney’s Aladdin. The workshop will culminate with a final performance for a live audience. Cost for the workshop is $300 and space is limited. Tuition includes two tickets for the final performance with additional tickets available for purchase at the door for $5/adult and $3/student. T-shirts will be available for an additional charge of $15 each.

Registration for the acting workshop will be held Dec. 2 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Dec. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the LHS archway entrance, 800 Porter Street. Interested participants are encouraged to visit www.littlemountaintheatre.org to print out and complete registration forms. Cash or checks will be accepted for payment of fees.

Stay tuned for information about next summer’s main stage production for those 10 and older. Details will be announced soon at www.littlemountaintheatre.org.
