“All the world’s a stage” is the apt motto the Long Beach Shakespeare Company (LBSC) is adopting as it launches its first Summer Drama Camp. Known for bringing classics to the community via its stagings of Shakespeare plays in parks throughout the city as well as at the Richard Goad Theater on Atlantic Boulevard, LBSC has begun the drama camp to teach acting, movement, music and other engaging technical aspects of theater to children in Long Beach and surrounding areas, according to Denis McCourt, co-artistic director of LBSC.
The camp is the beginning of a long-term plan for LBSC, which will also be starting a drama academy in the fall while partnering with neighboring schools to teach literacy through art.
The camp, which will take place at the Expo Building at 4321 Atlantic Blvd., will have three two-week sessions thorough the summer and will run from 9am to 3pm for $225 per child, with extended care to accommodate working parents.
