July 6-24

Center Stage Drama Camp

A three-week adventure for actors entering grades 6-12. Campers will learn theater techniques, voice skills, and rehearse for the full-length musical they will perform at the end of camp. The camp will be directed by Heather Schneemann and musically directed by Dave Middlin. How is this done in just three weeks? With hard work! Camp is held Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM for three weeks. The first day of camp we will hold auditions that require no preparation in order to cast the show. Every day following we will rehearse the show and perform it for the community on the last day of camp. For more information please see their website.

In the Gallery:

The Gallery will be closed Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 5, in observance of the holiday.

July 2-August 1: Joe Bergman: Meanings Not Included. The works on exhibit are a combination of drawings, paper cut outs, scrolls, and digital prints. The artist is not trying to convey a specific message; the viewer will extract and find the meaning based on his/her interaction with the art. Thus the show title. Opening reception Saturday, July 11, 5:00-8:00 PM.
