June 21 - July 9: Drama and Set design – The Boy Friend (3 week class)
The Boy Friend is a musical by Sandy Wilson. Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring 1920s, The Boy Friend is a parody of many 1920s shows. The main role of The Boy Friend is the character of Polly Browne, a rich heiress, who attends a finishing school for wealthy girls on the French Riviera. Polly is the only girl at the school that does not have a boyfriend because her father, Percival, thinks that any boy interested in his daughter is obviously only concerned with her inheritance. Just before the Carnival Ball, Polly encounters an attractive messenger boy named Tony. She soon convinces him that she is merely a poor secretary. They fall for each other, but then Tony runs off, and Polly sadly suspects that he must be a thief. But Tony shows up at the Ball and reveals that he is quite rich and truly in love with Polly. She then reveals her true identity and the two are able to be happy together.

Using computer technology, we will study and discuss the same images analyzed by the world’s greatest astrophysicists to explore the structure, evolution, and destiny of our universe.
Wipe Out
Our version of WIPE OUT will feature student contestants divided into teams that try to make their way through tough obstacle courses.

Great Big Enormous Whopping Cookie Jars (2 week class)
Using your bare hands, a ton of clay, plaster, glaze, carving tools and some muscle, you’ll make a cookie jar in the form of a mammal from any continent. To begin, you’ll receive lessons in drawing your beast with anatomical precision. Then you’ll pour some plaster to create the initial sculpture. Finally, using porcelain clay, you’ll start carving. The result is a life sized animal jar (ok, not really life sized because elephants, giraffes, ostriches and the like might be hard to fit in your kitchen). This is a super messy class: clay, plaster, glaze paint, but the outcome is worth it!
