PALACE YOUTH THEATER "The Palace is just a building, but with your children it becomes a living Theater." Dear Prospective Youth Theater Participant and Parents: Hooray, it's SPRING!! Here at the Lorain Palace Theater, spring means it is time for planning and registration for our summer Youth Theater Program. We are pleased to announce our production will be *ANNIE*. This year our students will all get great lessons in historical theater, learn how to sing, dance, act, and work with a live pit orchestra. The 2015 Palace Youth Theater activities begin with a *Mandatory Parents / Student Meeting* on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 2:00 PM to discuss the program, meet the staff, and learn how parental involvement is the key to the success of the program. Auditions will be held the first two days of camp. Students, ages 8 through 18, begin daily classes on Monday, June 22, 2015. A six-week blending of Theater education, technology, and self-esteem building experiences, concluded by the presentation of a full-scale, family oriented musical Theater production on Friday, July 31, Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2 2015. The Palace Youth Theater Program offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. CLASSES RUN DAILY FROM 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM (July 4th Off) Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - Participants should bring a lunch on these days. We do sell large water bottles for $1.00 if they do not bring their own beverage. We do have "Pizza Friday" where the students will be able to purchase pizza, pop and candy at a reduced rate and candy. An order form is sent home each Monday for pizza and is to be returned by Wednesday. *Tuesday - Classes are dismissed at 12:15 PM due to the Summer Fun Movie Series.* Students must be picked up by 12:30 PM unless they have permission to attend the movie. Students staying for the movie should bring a lunch on Tuesday as well. Cost for the movie is only $3.00 per person.
