Hubbard Hall invites all teens to come and participate in a four-week-long summer theatre program and musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown-- an afternoon filled with theater games, improv, music, and dance, all culminating in a final performance. The program will be directed by Kyra Fitzgerald with musical direction by Richard Cherry. 

Participants will learn the basics of the inner workings of theatre…play team-building, improv, and acting games to build an ensemble and confidence…and work in tandem with the director and musical director to conceptualize and then actualize ideas. Participants will also create their own sets, props, and even costumes. This will be a student-driven show. Ultimately the final product will be the culmination of the weeks of rehearsals, exercises, and summer fun, to create a performance to showcase all of the material learned and contrived.
