Summer Sundays - Theater Class
Summer 2009, for children age 6-12


Children who love to explore new activities: theater, drama, character, costume, improvisation and more - come join in the fun Sundays from 10:30 until 11:45, June 7 - July 26. The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette is sponsoring a theater program taught by Josh Coen, a dynamic young theater major at Northwestern University. Each Sunday will focus on different elements of the theater arts through fun hands-on activities. For example, the children will make simple puppets and a puppet show may be rehearsed and performed in the next few weeks.

The lessons will culminate in a play the students will plan and produce for an audience of parents and friends. The play will be held on July 26th at 11:00 am. If your child would like to participate in the puppet show or play, please commit to attending as often as possible. We know summer schedules are varied, with vacations, camps and other activities, but the lessons will be cumulative and build on one another. Please commit to bringing your child to two out of the three lessons prior to the play (July 5, 12, 19) as well as the performance July 26.

There is no charge for participation. Parents will be asked to volunteer to bring juice and a simple snack on a rotating basis. Parents will also be asked to be classroom assistants on a rotating basis. Class meets at Cite des Arts.
