The Wingspan Gypsies are an amazing group of young students. In this innovative summer program children will create an original musical theatre piece. Wingspan Gypsies focus on creativity and the nurturing of children’s inherent acting and writing skills. Students will learn the fundamentals of musical theatre: playmaking, acting, singing, and dancing using imagination games as well as formal classes. A creative drama program at heart, our gypsies are also stretched to expand their writing and musical horizons.

Each day students are taken on a journey through all of these skills with multiple professionals in those fields. Our staff consists of professional teaching artists with years of experience working with students of this age, as well as interns in arts and arts education – all college level or above.

Students will also have a chance to play
outdoors every day. Come join the fun!
A Typical Day for a Gypsy:

Morning/ Each morning students will have two periods of either playwriting or songwriting where they will create original material for their play
Noon/ Lunch
Early afternoon/ Afternoons are spent on honing
performance skills, whether it is acting, singing,
dancing or a “special” in another art form that will be highlighted in their play
Afternoon/ Snack and park time
Late afternoon/ Rehearsing the show as well as arts & crafts projects to build sets, props, and costumes
Session 1 students will create a fully original student driven piece;

Session 2 uses some previously published
materials as a jumping off point.
Many students attend both sessions.
