STAGE 284 Theater Workshop for Kids

Spome of the kids that performed in Stage 284's Theater Workshop For Kids production of Madeline!

This program will explore performance through exciting themes that will get your kids up and exercising their imaginations. Through creative movement, writing, theater games, props, set and costume, character development and analysis, we will explore the art of drama from the ground up! Starting with Greek Theater and ending with an exploration of Modern Day Musicals, students will get a sense of the work it takes to create a play from start to finish. This hands-on session will culminate in a short performance for family and friends created by your children!

Out Like A Lamb Hike

Enjoy a night hike at the Crane Estate to celebrate the end of March!

Join the Trustees to celebrate the last evening of the month of March with a night hike through the dunes of the Crane Wildlife Refuge! We’ll hope for the almost-spring temperatures of the month going out like a lamb, but we’ll have a great hike even if the roaring cold lion is still around!  At the end of our walk we’ll warm ourselves with hot cider around a beach fire.

Friday, March 31, 2017 7-9pm

Bowling on the North Shore

Most North Shore bowling centers still feature candlepin style bowling.

Bowling is a fun and active way to spend an evening, rainy afternoon, snow day or vacation day with friends and/or family. No matter what your skill level, bowling will get you together with a group of people who all have the common goal of enjoying the time they are spending together. Bowling centers also have special packages available for bowling parties, and are happy to accommodate large parties of bowlers given a little notice. 

Youth Movie Night: Wolves

Learn about Wolves at this documentary showing at Mass Audubon Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport.

The wolf is an amazing survivor in its wild habitat, but human distrust of this predator once pushed it to near extinction. In the documentary, Wolves, we'll meet a pack up-close and learn how environmentalists in the American West worked to protect the wolves and bring them back from the edge of extinction. After the movie, we'll open up the floor to exchange opinions about the wolves. We'll discuss the protection and reintroduction of endangered species, and how the protection of wolves elsewhere can impact protection of rare species in our backyard. Popcorn will be served!
