  ACT FAST! A Summer Adventure On Stage Summer is almost here. It’s time for adventure. You’re itching to explore. You’re hoping to discover something new. Since we can’t take you to the Amazon, we invite you to let your inner explorer take flight on our stage! But like all great explorers, you will have to ACT FAST! We only have one week! The world of acting and performance is about daring our imagination and tempting the limits of our creative power. The adventure of acting is about exploration and discovery. Most of all, it is about taking action and doing so fast. During this exciting week, we will play games designed to strengthen our acting skills. We will make new friends. We will create dynamic, comedic, and entirely believable characters. We will develop an original play with a professional playwright. We will design props and set pieces to capture our imaginative worlds for an audience. Finally, the biggest adventure, we will perform in front of a live audience! It’s time! You’ve got to ACT FAST! Discover your potential! Follow us to journey’s end as we build the bridge and cross it together. This is going to be an unforgettable summer! Pack your lunch! Let’s explore!
