Asolo Rep offers Drama Days camps during school breaks
(SARASOTA, FLA) — Asolo Repertory Theatre has announced upcoming dates for its popular Drama Days program. Drama Days offers creative camps for young artists ages 6-11 during school breaks. Upcoming camps take place during Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Breaks.
Facilitated by Asolo Rep’s Education & Engagement team, Drama Days camps invite students to spend their time out of school flexing their creative muscles and learning more about their world through theatre.
“Drama Days is a way to support our local families who are looking for cool and meaningful experiences for their children while school is out,” said Asolo Rep’s Muriel O’Neil Education & Engagement Director Sara Brunow. “I love that we can help young artists be sparked with creativity while also giving support to caregivers.”
Drama Days camps are for ages 6 to 11 and run 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Morning and aftercare are also available.
Thanksgiving Break: Nov. 21-23
