Theater camp presents 'Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing'
Summer with The Theater Project means theater camps for kids.
The first Young People's Theater Camp production of the summer is “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,” onstage July 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. with a Sunday, July 21 matinee at 2 p.m.
Based on the perennial favorite by Judy Blume, and adapted for the stage by Bruce Mason, “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” is a humorous look at family life and the troubles that can only be caused by a younger sibling.
Fourth grader Peter Hatcher's impossible little brother Fudge just might ruin his life ... if Peter doesn't manage to do it himself first.
The actors, ages 9 through 12, met at the beginning of July to start class and rehearsal. Some actors are returning to the camp and some are new to The Theater Project, but all have had a great time learning and playing.
“We spend a lot of time on fun theater exercises that help the actors understand their characters and the situations they find themselves in," said teacher and director Sean McGuire, himself a Theater Project alum.
This performance is produced by special arrangement with Plays for Young Audiences, a partnership of Seattle Children's Theatre and Children's Theatre Company, Minneapolis, Minn.
All tickets are pay-what-you-want, with a suggested price of $6, and are available at www.theaterproject.com, or by calling 207-729-8584.
The Theater Project is located at 14 School Street in Brunswick.
