Spring is in the air! The flowers are blooming, the sun is out, and we’re shining a light on 5 ways to greet the spring season with Theatre by Kids, for Kids!

Here’s what families are saying about our spring break camp:
#4 – Sign up for a theatre class this spring! Spring classes for students in grades K-8 begin Wednesday, April 6 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church (4000 Lorcom Ln Arlington, VA 22207). Saturday spring classes start April 9-30 at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Become a World Traveler, explore your comedic side with Saturday Stooges and Classic Comedy and more!

#3 – Buy your tickets for Musical Theatre Intensive’s production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on April 22-24, at Gunston Arts Center (2700 S. Lang St. Arlington, VA 22206). Get ready to sing, dance and SPELL your heart out along for a great time! Seven young spellers come together at a local school to use their talents to decide who will represent Putnam County in the national bee. Their zany personalities shine as they take on words that most people have never heard of, let alone can spell. Words fly as this fun, modern musical tells a tale of growing up while competing for prestige and bragging rights. We recommend this production for ages 8 and older.
