Description

What happens when the children of Disney’s most evil villains (who have been raised on an isolated island) descend on Propsect Park? We’ll find out! We’ll use actors’ tools (our voices, our bodies, emotions and imagination!) to investigate and develop our own storyline. We’ll have fun with costumes and props, set pieces and will create our own production, adding music and movement.

Description

The world is our stage! Create theater magic this summer in Prospect Park with Brooklyn Acting Lab!
BAL’s Young PLAYers in the Park Series runs weekly from June 14th – August 27th, 2021.

Our one-week summer programs allow your child to play, create, connect and have an immersive and imaginative theater experience. Guided by experienced teaching artists who are both educators and theater professionals, participants will work together to explore a weekly theme. No prior experience is necessary to participate in this supportive and nurturing ensemble experience. We will sing, dance, and use our imaginations to create stories and characters which will be woven into an original performance piece. Each week culminates in a socially distanced Friday afternoon outdoor sharing at 2PM for a limited audience of family and friends. Sign up for one week or for the entire summer!



Please send your child with a healthy lunch, two snacks, and a bottle of water.

Ages: Rising K-4th Grades
