‘Hatch’ young theater lovers

Treehouse Shakers present “Hatched” at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center on Oct. 25.

Have you always hoped your children would grow to love live theater? Then this performance of “Hatched” might be just the thing you are looking for!

This sweet, interactive play for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers tells the tale of a newborn chick emerging from her shell at sunrise to a strange and busy world, told through live music, dance, theater and puppets. Written and directed by Mara McEwin, the show is told to the very youngest theater-goers, babies and children up to age 6, and uses very little dialogue mixed with movement and handcrafted puppets to create a memorable first theater experience.

“Hatched” on Oct. 25 at 1:30 pm. Tickets are $15.

Ghostlight Theater Camp

Ghostlight Theater Camp is a summer theater camp for campers ages 9-17. Providing 10-day, 3-week, and 6-week programs that combine high-caliber theater training with a traditional summer camp experience.&nbsp; Working with Broadway artists both in classes and in productions, campers will have access to skill development, mentorships, and lifelong connections that will follow them beyond camp. Ghostlight focuses on ensemble theatre values and practicies that support individuality and self-expression in the context of community. This means that no camper at Ghostlight is in the back row or sitting on the side. Each day brings multiple opportunities to perform and create with fellow campers in an environment filled with support.&nbsp; When not making theater, campers can enjoy the benefits of a summer camp in Maine that no other theater camp offers. Stargazing in a hammock, walks in the woods, downtime by the pool, and quiet time reading in the Gazebos with the sound of wind all around are some of highlights of a summer unplugged and away from screens.&nbsp; Finally, the most meaningful and lasting gift of a summer at Ghostlight is the friendships made that last a lifetime. Though the love of theater brings us together, and the work we do stands out from other experiences, the community focus of Ghostlight Theater Camp is why we hear, year after year, that campers cannot wait to return.&nbsp;
