What not to miss this semester!
What ideas were bandied about in the houses, taverns, and
battlefields of our young country by the people who shaped
the character of America? You’ll find out as we develop our
own interpretation of actual famous citizens who lived during
the Revolutionary War period—like Ethan and Fanny Allen,
Benedict Arnold, Molly Stark, and more. Through research
and theater games we’ll contrive ways in which these
figures interact with each other, and then become guest artists
in the younger History Comes Alive! camp, posing problems
and creating challenges for their fictional community!
SETH JARVIS is a playwright, director, performer, and poet
whose recent credits include The Next State, The Bus, The
American Machine, and Keely & Du. Jarvis teaches commedia
dell’arte, performance poetry, and art in curriculum—the
history-theater synthesis in FlynnArts summer Camps.
Our theater program emphasizes individual expression, creative choice, and FUN! Children’s classes build sequentially on the basics, while teens and adults can explore specific theater arts in greater depth (and shorter periods of time.) We keep class sizes small so everyone gets personal attention, and vary themes so that each semester challenges returning students as well as new ones. Performance opportunities let students try out their skills in front of supportive audiences of family and friends, and tours of the historic Flynn Theatre, discounts on world-class MainStage performances, and masterclasses with extraordinary visiting artists complement the strong core program.
