Summer Teen Performing Troupe/Library Volunteer Hours Opportunity 

Where:  Central Library

When:  Wednesdays 2-4 pm

What:  Plan, Practice, Perform

Who:  Teens aged 13-17 

This summer, 15 teens (aged 13-17) will be chosen to be the Waco McLennan County Library Performing Troupe.  The group will meet for 2 hours on Wednesdays in June and July to select, plan, adapt/write a script from stories (most likely fables), cast, block, and perform for story hours at all of the WMC libraries during the first week of August.  The 2 hours per week on Wednesdays in June and July, as well as the 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. hours for the first week of August will count towards community service hours.  Performances of puppet show and play will be August 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th.  Students may log in their times and will receive a certificate at the end of the performance week.  Props and costumes will be provided.  Teens may leave with a parent for lunch during that week in August, or may bring a sack lunch.  There is limited space available.  Interested parties must contact Stacey Phillips at 750-5956 at Central Library.  Deadline is May 23rd, but she may fill all of the spots before that time, so please act quickly!
