“Presenting, the
Summer Workshops!” [On The John Cooper School Campus] 2016 marks the 10th year of Piccolo Theatre’s Summer Workshops, offering Drama Camp as well as Aerial Arts and The 2nd Annual Shakespeare “All The World’s A Stage”, in which students will have the opportunity to perform in a Shakespeare play. This is the ideal summer destination for those students who love to ACT, SING and DANCE! Come join our company of young performers where everyone gets a role. Students will learn to design their own props, help with costumes and scenery as well as learn how to work on the stage. Performances will be on the PAC Main Stage and in the Black Box Theater. Joseph and Elizabeth DeMonico – theater and dance teachers at The John Cooper School - will be leading the classes, held in the Performing Arts Center on The John Cooper School campus. Please make plans to join us! Stephen Blaschke – theater teacher at The John Cooper School – will be directing “All The World’s A Stage” for the Shakespeare Camp.

There are different and unique productions for each week and students are welcome to take all sessions. It is a great time and we hope that you will join us! SHAKESPEARE CAMP – All The World’s A Stage The Shakespeare Camp will be composed of a group of middle and high school students selected from The Woodlands community. Those selected will receive voice, movement, and acting training while working on a professionally produced and supported (i.e. professional set, costume, lighting, and sound designs) play. We strive to provide talented young artists a nurturing environment where positive self-expression is encouraged through the active exploration of classical drama. This camp is open to students entering 7th – 12th grades. Admission to the camp is determined through an audition, and selected students will meet for two weeks during the summer to rehearse and perform a Shakespeare play under the direction of professional artists. To schedule an audition and for more information about this unique program, contact Stephen Blaschke at
