Look to the Lookingglass Theatre for where to send your children this summer. This Chicago theater company is offering multiple opportunities for kids of almost all ages to get a taste of the arts. The Arts Quest Camp is for kids 5 to 8. These two week sessions immerse children in storytelling, music and art in addition to taking multiple field trips to Chicago institutions like the MSI and Planetarium. For kids 8 to 14 there’s the Summerglass Camp. Students will learn stage combat, juggling, stilt walking, and tumbling and at the end of the two week session will stage a performance for family and friends. For the teen crowd there’s Lookingglass Lab. These two week classes are for the student interested in the theater for a career. Students work in the Lookingglass style of play creation and focus on a single theme. Registration is now open for all camps. Hurry and enroll. Summer Camp on the Lake has already sold out.

The kids are home from school today. It’s great. For a day. It’s time to think about whay they can do during the summer months. The Northlight Student Series returns this summer. Kids of all ages participate in professional theatre training in addition to classic camp activities. The camp ends with a public showcase for friends and family performed by all campers on the Northlight stage. Unlike most camps, this one includes guests from the Steppenwolf, Goodman, Shakespeare, Lookingglass and Northlight Theatres.

When most of us think of summer camp, images of swimming in lakes and campfire singalongs race through our heads.  But Lookingglass Theatre’s summer camps offers a variety of programs for kids to learn and sharpen their stage skills.  Offering courses for kids 18 months to 18 years old, Lookingglass encourages kids to bring out that inner thespian.  We will be distributing the course catalogs all over Chicago, so be sure to pick one up.
