In 2022, Spark Theatre Company and Lorain County Community College’s theatre department collaborated to create a new summer camp program. With #TheStockerFoundation’s support, Spark Theatre increased enrollment by nearly 90% in just one year. During the camp, students take acting, music and drama classes, building #performanceskills and fostering #criticalthinking, communication and collaboration. Campers work with professional teaching artists, create and rehearse their own performances, culminating in a final show at the end of the summer🎭 Learn more about their work 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVarwccc

#TheStockerFoundation has funded Page Ahead Children's Literacy Program since 2016, providing nearly $100K toward Book Up Summer!
