Welcome... to our annual Summer Fun special edition, which features a whole spectrum of summer activities for children of all ages. With school almost out, it’s that time of the year to make some plans. Parents can use this guide to find fun activities for their youngsters or even for the entire family. Included are activities from the City of Denton, the University of North Texas, Texas Woman’s University and more. You’ll also see a number of advertisers offering the latest summer activities available on everything from fashion to athletics and everything in between. We hope you’ll keep this guide handy and use it to plan for a fun-filled summer. And while you’re at it, plan to take a few photos and send them our way.

7-11 / July 5-9 / August 2-6, Monday through Friday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., ages 7-9 Director - John Evarts THE PLAY’S THE THING will become the lesson learned by the students of our acting camps this summer. Students (ages 7-9) will find that their strength as a performer finds its basis in the merit and quality of a well developed story of dimensional characters. Working four hours a day for only five days, these young performers will produce a short one-act play for their family and friends. The students involved will receive training in the elementary techniques of characterization, finding that “memorization is not characterization;” but rather, that becoming the character for brief moments in time brings both belief for oneself and the audience. Thus, the young performer will be transformed into a young artist as they learn the magical truth of theatre that the “play’s the thing.” Cost: $250 per week (plus $25 non-refundable registration fee) Special Discount - Register for all three weeks for a total of $675 Musical Theatre Production Camp - Orientation - June 28-30, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., ages 10 -18.
