Theater Camp

For the past two weeks, Gina has been going to theater camp and she has been really enjoying it. I wasn't sure how she would like it since she didn't know anyone else, but every day when I would pick her up she would say it was fun. Each day they start out with classes on improvisation and other games and then in the afternoon, they work on their lines for the play, make the sets and props and work on their costumes. The play for this camp was Thumbelina and Gina got the part of Dora the Dragonfly, one of Thumbelina's friends. At the end of the two weeks, the kids put on the performance at a local park. Some of the kids were very enthusiastic about their parts. Gina knew all her lines though she sounded a little wooden. When she would practice at home, she would only say the lines without much expression or she would be very goofy about it. She loved singing the song at the end though and showed a lot of expression. In the end, she excited about doing it again next summer.
