District 153 is pleased to announce expanded offerings in our Summer Arts and Theatre Programs for the children of our community. Housed at James Hart School, the programs will involve a staging a muscial and a variety of art workshops/projects.

The Summer Storytelling Theatre will present one of the local premieres of Disney’s Little Mermaid, Jr.  This is the first time Disney has released amateur performance rights for this family favorite.  Public performances will be July 6 & 7, at 7:30 PM. 

Participants in the Summer Art program will create a variety of artworks, using both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional media.  Their artwork will be exhibited in a gallery at the conclusion of the program, and artists get to take home all their masterpieces!
