Tue Jun 22 08:48:37 PDT 2010

It's so great to be able to say that we are almost sold out!!

The Beck Center for the Arts Summer Theater Camps are off and running
this week.  Our first "Junior Theater Camp: Celebration!" is not only
filled to capacity - we had to add an EXTRA section to accommodate all
the students.  In fact, since our second Junior Theater Camp in
July/August is filling up fast too, we've also enlarged it to allow more
kids to participate!  

However, there is only a limited amount of slots left.  So if you are
interested in being a part of the fun, call the Beck Center at
216-521-2540 x10 and sign up now! Or check us out online at
www.beckcenter.org.

Meanwhile, our two Teen Camps are quickly running out of openings, so
don't wait as there are only so many we can have!  Remember, all camps
culminate in an original production that gives everyone an opportunity
to be seen. Don't miss out!
