ADRIAN — Several new educational opportunities for young people have been added to the spring calendar at the Croswell Opera House.

A one-week performance camp will take place the week of Lenawee County’s spring break, from March 24-28. This camp will follow the same model as the Croswell’s popular summer performance camp, with students learning a musical over the course of the camp and staging a performance at the end. The camp is for students in grades 2-10, and the show will be “Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon.”

The camp will meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., plus a performance on the evening of the final day. The cost is $200.

In April, the Croswell will offer two after-school classes for elementary school students. 

“Explore-a-Story Theater” is for kids in first and second grades. In this exploration-themed class, kids will discover new ways to use their voices, bodies and imaginations in creative storytelling. The class will meet on Tuesdays, April 1-29, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., and the cost is $75.

“Improv Toolkit” is for students in grades 3-5. Students will learn the fundamentals and basic tools of improvisational theater in a fast-paced, creative environment that encourages them to create stories and characters using a wide variety of improv techniques, formats and games. The class will meet on Wednesdays, April 2-30, and the cost is $75.
