Brooklyn Summer Players is a 4-week musical theater program for twenty-five 8-13 year olds
(entering 3rd - 8th grades in the fall.) The program rents the third floor of Elise Long's beautiful
performance and dance space at 295 Douglass Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues in Park Slope,
Brooklyn. For Summer 2009, the program will run weekdays from Monday, June 29 to Friday, July
24 from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Shows will be performed on Wednesday July 22 and Thursday July 23
at 2:00 p.m. The program is closed on Friday, July 3.

Every summer we adapt an adult or family musical into an age-appropriate one-hour fully staged show.
Everyone is cast in the show with a named part, costume, lines and the opportunity to be in at least
two musical numbers. The emphasis ot Brooklyn Summer Players is on cooperation and ensemble
work, and each child is given the opportunity to grow and push themselves in a non-threatening
environment with a professional and nurturing staff.
|
|
In addition to work on sets - and singing, acting and dance rehearsals for the show - the program
includes separate art, theater arts, dance and vocal technique classes. We have daily outdoor
recreation at the Thomas Greene Playground across the street, and swimming twice a week at the
Douglass Street Pool down the block.
