They’ll enjoy arts and crafts while working on the behind-the-scenes elements of props, costumes, sets and lights. They’ll have fun exercising their imaginations and developing control of their bodies and voices to create characters for their play. At the end of the week we’ll all delight in what they create and share with us on stage (and backstage) at the Hipp!
