Zip Zap Zing Children's Theatre Co.

Sometimes it can be fun to do just a little bit of something, and summer is a great time to try something new.

Check out Zip Zap Zing’s Fantastic Line-Up of Famously Fun Workshops:

from Jedi Knights to Carnival Clowns, Pageant Princesses to Garden Fairies –

there’s something to delight all your drama kings and queens!

Perfectly Poised and Polished Pageant Princesses:Your little Miss will understand how to walk the walk and talk the talk as she learns all about stage presence, projection, and winning ways to wow an audience. Girls will get a chance to make their own pageant crowns and sashes and put together a superstar song and dance routine!

Jedi Training Lab: Boys and girls alike will have an intergalactic good time as they learn basic stage combat techniques. Each Jedi will create their very own light saber and learn how to focus their mind and feel the Force while learning a mini-skit. This workshop was a huge success last summer so sign up early!

Fairy Rainbow Garden Fun: Delightful discoveries await in this enchanting afternoon! Everyone will get to design their own fairy wings to take home before practicing a pixie-sized performance.

Clowning Around: Let’s head under the big top! Participants will get all “clowned” up with face paint and costumes before enjoying an afternoon of silly songs, skits and circus tricks.

When parents have a child with behavior they don’t know how to handle, they send them off to Camp Piggle Wiggle. Thanks to her dear departed pirate husband, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle has a sea chest full of magic cures for any bad habit! From show-offs to slow-pokes, daydreamers to bullies, she helps them all with her curious, comical, but commonsense cures. It doesn’t hurt that she also bakes the world’s best chocolate cookies. Performers will love the outrageously hilarious solutions and parents will enjoy the lessons learned from Betty MacDonald’s classic tales.

Camps available on Tuesday evenings in Grayslake and Thursday afternoons in Gurnee.
