6 May ICC's summer drama camp takes humorous look at childhood May 6, 2019 By Thomas, Donna S. General 0 Oh, to be young again…to climb trees, play house, double Dutch jump rope, ride bikes and roller skate. Sounds fun,… until you remember the bumps along the way. During Itawamba Community College’s summer drama camp, June 3-7, from 9 a.m. – noon at the W.O. Benjamin Fine Arts Center Auditorium at the Fulton Campus, students leaving the second through eighth grades will take a humorous romp through childhood – looking at some of children’s most challenging moments. During the week, campers will play fun improvisational games like “Give Me Your Best Yucky Food Face” and “Funniest Sleeping Position.” They will make props and pictures to feature in their final program as well as act out and narrate scenes from the following children’s books: I Don’t Want to Get Up by Dr. Seuss, The New Small Child by Lauren Child, Tales for Very Picky Eaters by Josh Sneider, and Alexander, Who’s Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move” by Judith Viorst. On Friday at noon and 6 p.m., campers will showcase their talents for family and friends, bringing back childhood memories. Participants may register at www.iccms.edu or email Dr. Laurie McBride, camp coordinator, at lsmcbride@iccms.edu. Application forms should be postmarked by May 24 and include a $100 camp fee.
