Joplin Little Theatre (JLT) is back in operation and gearing up for their 82nd continuous season! Here is what’s coming up this month:
Children’s Summer Workshop 2021
Enrollments are still available for the 2021 JLT Summer Workshop!
This workshop is for kids in kindergarten through middle school, ages five to fourteen, and the cost to enroll is $70 per child, per session. The enrollment process begins by calling the JLT box office at 417.623.3638 or by visiting the website at joplinlittletheatre.org.
Week One will run from July 12 to July 16 with morning sessions from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and afternoon sessions from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm. The theme of that week is Stranded on an Island and will follow a group of tourists as they find themselves stranded on a desert island after their cruise ship breaks down. They have landed in a beautiful paradise with waterfalls and volcanoes. Who will they meet along the way? Will they make it back to civilization?
Week Two will run from July 19 to July 23 with morning sessions from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and afternoon sessions from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm. The theme of the week is An Artist Finds Inspiration. Where do artists find inspiration? Together we will find the answer. We meet a group of uninspired artists who visit their fellow artistic friends to answer a question: How do they find inspiration?
Please note that in order to maintain safety guidelines, enrollment limited to 30 students per session.
