4. NEWS RELEASE OF THE MONTH:

Hackmatack Playhouse Children’s Camp

Registration has begun for the 2010 Children’s Theatre Camp at The Hackmatack Playhouse, Route 9 in Berwick, Maine. Katie Rodgers is the director of the program. According to Rodgers, "The children’s 2010 summer play will be an original show called "The World's a Stage", using American music from the Tin Pan Alley era (Gershwin, Foster, Joplin, Berlin).　 The campers will have the chance to insert their own personalities and ideas into the show, and will, as always, help paint and build their sets and design and create their own costumes." This is Rodgers’ 7th summer working with the Hackmatack Children's Theater Camp, and second year as director. She said, "Campers make lifelong friends, enjoy the beautiful grounds, and grow as performers and as children while they strengthen their confidence and self-esteem.　 While watching the campers perform and realize their talents and strengths is always rewarding, what I truly look forward to the most each summer is watching them make friends, laugh, work together, and include their unique creativity in everything they do."

Camp runs from June 28th through August 14th, Monday through Friday, 9:00am - Noon.　 The show will be presented August 6th, 7th (a Saturday), 13th, and 14th(Saturday) at 10:00 am.

The Hackmatack Playhouse regular season schedule this summer includes Cinderella (June 24 through July 10), Leading Ladies (July 14 through July 24), Carousel (July 28 through August 14) and Hello, Dolly (August 18 through the 28th).

8. A FUNNY THING HAPPENED:

A little boy at one of my shows at an after-school program in Massachusetts said it: "Can you stop for a couple of minutes? My face hurts from laughing and I have to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back!"
