Summer camp will look a little different this year. To make sure that your student still has an opportunity to experience the Performing Arts, we’ve moved to a Virtual Camp for this summer. You can sign up for the classes that you’d like to be a part of each week.
THE RAINBOW FISH (Grades 1-8)
Rehearsals:
Monday-Friday
10:00am-11:00am
AND 2:10pm-3:10pm

Friday, June 26th at 7:00pm

Instructed by Alisyn Christensen
Join TLT's kick-off to virtual summer camp 2020! We are starting this summer off with the wonderful story of The Rainbow Fish. With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean. But when Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.
We will use Zoom to hold classes, and perform a memorized staged reading of this wonderful play for families to enjoy via YouTube link.
Approximately one week prior to the start of camp the script will be emailed out. If you need a printed copy sent to your home, please email us education@tacomalittletheatre.com so we can send you a copy in time.
Your Zoom link for class will be sent out the Sunday before class starts, June 21st, 2020.
HOW TO CREATE A ROUNDED CHARACTER (Grades 1-8)
Rehearsals:
Monday-Friday
11:10am-12:10pm
Tuition: $100.00
Instructed by Deanna Martinez
In How to Create a Rounded Character, students will use a variety of acting techniques to move a character from two-dimensional, static, or campy, into one who is multi-dimensional, dynamic, and complex. Bringing this type of Truth to acting is valuable in auditions and performance. The course will utilize monologues and scenes for content, and will teach acting skills from Uta Hagen, Meisner, as well as social-emotional thinking from Leah Kuypers.
Classes will be instructed via Zoom.
Any class materials will be emailed out to students. If anyone needs materials printed and delivered TLT will arrange this will you.
The Zoom link will be sent out Sunday June 21st, 2020, prior to the first class.
BOXES (Grades 6-12)
Rehearsals:
Monday-Friday
1:00pm-2:00pm
Performance:
Friday, June 26th at 7:00pm
Tuition: $100.00
Instructed by Courtney Rainer
Imagine a world where every teen comes of age by receiving an empty box.
Jack is curious when he receives his box as a birthday present. His confusion about the cubed oddity quickly turns to concern when his family, friends, and teachers begin filling his box with their expectations for him. The heavier Jack’s box gets, the more burdened he feels by it — and the more Jack considers following his friend Chris’s lead and throwing his box away. Before Jack casts away his own ambitions to relieve him from the stress of needing to please others, a strong supporting cast of friends helps Jack sort through what matters most and what’s worth holding onto.
We will use Zoom to hold classes, and perform a memorized staged reading of this wonderful play for families to enjoy via YouTube link.
Class materials will be emailed out to you a week prior to class. If you cannot print a script out please let us know via email education@tacomalittletheatre.com.
The Zoom link for classes will be emailed out on Sunday, June 21st, 2020, prior to the first class.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYWRITING
A CLUB TLT PROGRAM
(Grades 9-12)
Rehearsals:
Monday-Friday
4:30pm-5:30pm
Tuition: $100.00
Instructed by
Cassie Jo Fastabend
Club TLT's playwriting class will do a deep dive into the components of script, character arch, and dialogue. Students will work together to create scenes, collaborate on each other's work, and co-write a script to perform. A main focus of this class will be to answer the questions: how can we write stories that feel and sound like us? How can we help our audience, actors and directors resonate with our writing? This will be a connected, fun, and engaging way to exercise our creative muscles and work on writing skill, which will ultimately make students more well-rounded theater artists!
Classes will be instructed via Zoom.
Any materials needed will be emailed out. The Zoom link to class will be sent out on Sunday, June 21st, 2020, prior to the first class.
