The Department of Theatre and Dance, and Theatre Resources for You, announce the Theatre Day Camp for young people to be held July 11 to Aug. 19. Camps offer training in theatre, creative arts, musical theatre, production, and performance. Directors have advanced degrees, and/or are state-certified to teach grades 3-12. They provide a supportive atmosphere in which talents and creativity are encouraged.

The camp is administered by Theatre Resources for You (TRY), which provides the community with educational opportunities for youth in performance and creative arts. In 1966, TRY was established through a federal grant in cooperation with the New Hampshire Commission on the Arts to provide children’s theatre programs throughout the state. In 1970, TRY became a self-supporting, nonprofit educational outreach organization, adopted by the UNH Department of Theatre and Dance. In 1999, TRY expanded its theatre educational program offerings for all age groups throughout New England. The programs are funded by donations and program fees.
