Returning this year: Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater announces Theater Summer Sessions! 

Running from August 11th-15th (for ages 6 to 12) and August 18th-22nd (for ages 8 to 14,) each week promises a whirlwind of excitement from 9am to 3pm daily. ​Participants will dive into the magical world of theater, honing their acting and stage movement skills under the guidance of instructors Dan Schmidt & Mo Andres.

SESSION 1 - August 11th - 15th, 9am - 3pm (for students ages 6 to 12) culminates in a mini- production of The Lorax at 6pm on Friday, August 15th: Based on Dr. Seuss's 1971 classic tale, The Lorax chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax who "speaks for the trees" and confronts the Once-ler, a business magnate who causes environmental destruction.
​
SESSION 2 - August 18th - 22nd,  9am - 3pm (for students ages 8 to 14) culminates in a mini-production of The Jātaka Tales at 6pm on Friday, August 22nd. Adapted from lesson-based stories (similar to Aesop’s Fables,) The Jātaka Tales animate the historical Buddha's recollections of his past lives as he journeyed on the bumpy road toward enlightenment. In these stories - which feature animals as the central characters - the Buddha shares how he overcame challenges in creative, humorous and sometimes mischievous ways.
