The Director's Box What’s new? At MAC, there is something new every season. This summer marks the return of woodworking for kids in our new and improved studio. There are lots of other great new classes and camps for kids, too. Look for new offerings in basketmaking, literary arts, dance, theatre, music and even architecture. We’ve also added hip hop dance for teens. That’s new!

Returning this summer are some great events, from our Biannual Youth Arts Show in May to Multnomah Day in August, and Art in the Pearl during Labor Day weekend. Check out our great community events on page 26-27. We hope to see you soon!

Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians, and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

Musical Theatre Workshop—Hairspray, JR! It’s showtime! Work together to create a production while exploring acting, singing and dancing skills. The 1950’s are out, and change is in the air! “Hairspray JR” is the family-friendly musical piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs—adapted from the Broadway production that won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It’s 1962, and spunky, plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has one big dream—to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When she finally gets her shot, she’s transformed from social outcast to sudden star. In balancing her newfound power with her desire for justice, Tracy fights to dethrone the reigning Miss Teen Hairspray, Amber von Tussle, and integrate a TV network in the process. With the help of her outsized mom, Edna, and guest D.J. Motormouth Maybelle, the rhythm of Tracy’s new beat just might prove unstoppable.

There’s a part for everyone in this fun show, and all campers will participate in the production.

Attendance is mandatory at all rehearsals and public performances.

Inclusion Services for People with Special Needs Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP & R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.
