The Carnegie Announces Registration for
Camp Carnegie: Opposite Land

Summer theatre workshops provide children with the opportunity to create and perform their own plays, design costumes and more

COVINGTON, KY – The Carnegie’s Eva G. Farris Education Center will help children bring stories to life through theatre this summer with its Camp Carnegie: Opposite Land theatre workshops.

Open to ages 7 to 15, Camp Carnegie: Opposite Land theatre workshops will have children creating a world where everything is the opposite of what they know today. Perhaps everyday is Christmas, or maybe they live in a world where they get in trouble for not finishing their candy. Who knows where the storylines will go.

Over the course of the six-day workshop, children will have fun exploring the world of theatre through hands-on art making, character design, dramatic exercises, script writing, problem solving and more. All Camp Carnegie: Opposite Land theatre workshops will even include a live performance on stage in the Otto M. Budig Theatre for friends and family.
