Little Players Day Camp
Offering half day, and full day options for kids ages 7-15.
 
Little Players prides itself on teaching performing arts as a fun and creative mode of self-expression in an environment that is safe, fun, and educational.
 
Through the five-week program students are exposed to a dozen genres of performing arts, with a strong focus on drama, both scripted and improvisational, and a secondary focus on theatrical dance.
 
Students also learn theater history and become quite proficient in theater terminology throughout the course of the program.
 
Guest speakers offer demonstrations and classes in other areas such as: tap, swing, salsa, ballet, African, belly, hula, and break dance, as well as magic and more!
 
In addition to the fun they have within the program, students learn valuable life lessons taught through performing arts such as: dedication, responsibility, commitment, accountability, teamwork, pride, and confidence.
 
At the conclusion of the five-week program students have the wonderful opportunity to display their talents in both drama and dance in the performance showcase, with four performances Thurs. - Sun. July 20th-23rd.
 
Complete program dates are Mon. June, 20th - Sun July 24th. Class is held Monday through Friday for five weeks, with the exception of 4th of July week. The 5th week culminates with performances Thursday-Sunday, with a cast party following the Sunday matinee performance.
 
Camp is held conveniently at the Center for the Arts in historic downtown Grass Valley. We use the off Center stage and lobby for our program. The entrance is off Richardson street with a nice large parking lot for further convenience.
