Summer programs for the gifted

The programs listed are not an endorsement of the program-merely information for parents regarding summer programs for the gifted.  I have first-hand knowledge of some of them.

March 2009

Due to discontinuation of local programming, I am currently researching other alternatives, such as:

SummerStage at NYSTI 

July 6-24, 2009 • Mon.-Fri., 9 AM - 4 PM, Ages 9-16  Application Form

SummerStage, is carefully designed to provide a combination of structured performing arts training, creative expression, fun, social interaction with other students, and the opportunity to perform. Individual and collaborative work by the young people under the guidance of experienced teachers culminates in an original presentation created and performed by the students. Acting classes are same-age, special topics are partially mixed-age, and performance projects are mixed-age. The SummerStage experience provides a training ground and showcase for young performers’ creative talents.

SummerStage will be held in the Schacht Fine Arts Center, Russell Sage College, Troy, NY.

Tuition: $550.; Application deadline: May 1 For more information on SummerStage, contact Theatre Arts School Director Sara Melita at 518.274.3295 or tasdirector@nysti.org
