Department of Theatre and Dance<\/a>‘s Summer Spotlight camp has returned to the stage and this year’s camp is focusing on the return of theater to another well-known location, Broadway. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis week children ages 8-13 are learning about theater and stagecraft in a way that allows them to have fun in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s kind of about just letting kids be kids because this time of day they don’t really get to,” says Creative Drama Leader Gracie Grant. “They’ve kind of had a rough year at school and they kind of just get to come with us and have creative movement and get to be kids.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So each group will get to do the number they’ve been rehearsing all week and then we have a big closing number at the end as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
