Barn RATS

Dates are set for the eighth season of Barn RATS, presented by the Mud Creek Players. This summer's Barn RATS (Really Awesome Theater School) will explore sound, movement, music, script writing, and improvisation as participants develop a world premiere performance of their own creation. Individual self-esteem will blossom as young people learn to tap their creativity, see a world filled with possibilities, silence the inner critic, and focus on one goal at a time. Each camp will end with a performance and celebration of the artist within us all. Barn Rats will offer six weeks of summer theater camp for children ages 7-11, Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, with a performance each Friday afternoon. Middle school students going into or out of grades 6-8 this fall, have a session all their own from June 9-13 and July 7-11.

Cost is $195 per week and includes a camp t-shirt, snacks, material, and the expertise of highly qualified theater professional. All campers must be able to read and follow directions.
