Golden Isles Arts and Humanities
Association (GIAHA) is expanding its
Summer Theater Camp Program to
three different sessions this year and
offering young people ages seven and
up a fun learning experience and a
chance to show their skills on stage.
For the past decade, the Ritz Sum
mer Theater Camps have been an
extremely popular program for children
in the Golden Isles. Theater classes
are not only for those who want to be
on stage; they’re also a great way to
enhance concentration, discipline and
social and interpersonal skills.
2009 Camp Schedule
• June 8-19, 9 a.m. - noon, Monday-
Friday: Acting on the Stage (Ages 7-12)
Explore the world of acting on stage
through theater games, improvisation,

• July 6-17, 9 a.m. - noon, Monday-
Friday: On the Spot with Improv (Ages

rience, this fun and sometimes crazy
session will culminate in a unique per

laughs and points as they make up
scenes, games, and songs on the spot.
Taught by Kelly Dobbin, who holds a
Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater
Performance from Roosevelt University
