 COMMUNITY CHILDREN’S CHOIR

Our spring session of COMMUNITY CHILDREN’S CHOIR will be starting Sunday Morning, April 7, at 11:30, at Trinity United Church, 400 Stevenson St. N.  There will be no practice on Sunday, May 19, Victoria Day Weekend.  We will sing, as guests, at Trinity United Church, June 2, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.

We run our choir sessions in separate, relatively short, blocks of time.  One in the Spring and one in the Fall.  This makes it easier for families to commit to attendance.  In order for our singers to have a rewarding experience in our COMMUNITY CHILDREN’S CHOIR, it is important and expected that all singers will attend these weekly practices.

We are looking for boys and girls in our community, ages 7 to 14, who like to sing!  There is no better way to welcome spring after a long winter than by singing in a choir.  We offer an opportunity to learn the joy of singing in an environment of love and fun.  THERE IS NO FEE.  Just come and sing with us!!!

COMMUNITY THEATRE CAMP

It’s time to think about plans for the summer!   Our first week of COMMUNITY THEATRE CAMP is July 8 to 12, and our second week is July 22 to 26!!!   Now is the time to ask questions and let me know if you are interested in a Theatre Program for your young actor.  We love drama Kings and Queens!  All children, ages 6 to 16, are welcome at COMMUNITY THEATRE CAMP.   Our Camps start on Monday and we invite family and friends to our Show on Friday.   Morning Camp, 9:00 to Noon is for ages 6 to 10 years.   Afternoon Camp, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. is for ages 11 to 16.   We are looking forward to two weeks of amazing Theatre Camp experiences this summer!

Our campers learn sooooooo much.  We see them grow in confidence in just one short week.      You will know what I mean when you see them on stage!  A cast of talented young actors in only five half-days!  We guarantee an original fun script and a role for everyone.

If there is someone at your house who loves theatre and having lots of fun, please contact me as soon as possible!
