The Sunny D Children's Theater took local children around the world again this year as part of "Theater Around the World, Act II." June 16-27, children ages 5-18 participated in the theater's annual summer camp in Blue Ridge.Through music, crafts, drama and dance, children learned about the traditions, history and literature of Holland, China, Greece, Germany, Ireland and Mexico. The two-week camp culminated in two performances June 27 and 28 at the theater. The performance featured a retelling of "The Little Dutch Boy" and a Chinese lantern dance by the five- to eight-year-olds. The nine- to 12-year-olds performed a modern updating of "King Midas" and a German Maypole dance. The oldest group took a turn at Celtic storytelling and performed several Mexican heritage dances. |
