What a great way to deal with winter blues! The City of Delaware Parks and Recreation Department is offering a fantastic opportunity for children to dive into the world of theater with their upcoming Drama Kids Class. This enriching program is set to run from January 15 to March 5 and promises to deliver a unique experience filled with creativity, laughter, and growth.
An Exciting Twist on Drama for Kids
The Drama Kids Class isn’t just about putting on a play—it’s an all-encompassing approach to theater that encourages self-expression, builds social skills, and fosters creativity in a supportive environment. Whether your child is a budding thespian or simply looking for a fun, new activity, this program is designed to cater to all experience levels. The class takes place every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Hilborn Room at Mingo Park, making it a convenient after-school activity.
What to Expect
Participants can look forward to a mix of fun improv activities, scripted scenes, and theater games that make learning about drama both exciting and educational. The focus is not solely on performance, but on personal development. By engaging in these activities, kids will have the chance to:
- Boost Self-Expression: Through various theater exercises, children will learn how to express themselves more freely and confidently in front of others.
- Enhance Social Skills: Drama naturally encourages teamwork and communication, helping kids to develop important social skills that will benefit them in all areas of life.
- Unleash Creativity: From crafting characters to inventing scenarios, the class provides numerous opportunities for creative thinking and problem-solving.
The culmination of the program will be a final class that features a special skit performed by the young actors, showcasing the skills they’ve honed over the weeks. Parents are invited to participate in some of the activities, creating a memorable and interactive experience for the entire family.
A Safe and Positive Environment
The Parks and Recreation Department emphasizes that this program is designed to be a safe and positive space for all participants. Whether children are outgoing or a bit shy, the class offers a welcoming environment where every child can thrive. This supportive setting is crucial for helping kids feel comfortable to experiment and take creative risks without the fear of judgment.
Registration Information
Spaces are limited, and given the popularity of previous drama programs, parents are encouraged to register their children as soon as possible to secure a spot. Registration can be completed online at delawareohio.net/ParksRecRegistration.
Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to ignite your child’s passion for drama and creativity this fall. The stage is set, and the spotlight is waiting—Drama Kids is ready to dazzle!
