Summer Theatre Adventure, “Homefront Heroes” by Playtime Poppy Children’s
Freedom Festival Affiliated Event Playtime Poppy Children's Theatre’s Summer Theatre Adventure is a free week long immersive theatre experience for ages 9-14 to engage with theatre, culture, and community. When family members are away serving their country, folks at home find ways to help. Join the children of Cedar Rapids as they work from the homefront to support their loved ones. Follow their hardships and joys through the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. Students age 9-14 are invited to audition for this free, week long theatre camp on June 2, from 1:30-4pm at the downtown library. Those selected will work together June 24–28 to bring these special stories to life. The camp and performance will be held at the beautiful Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Cedar Rapids. The public is invited to the free performance on June 28 at 7pm. There will also be information tables for area organizations that offer support to veterans and their families before and after the performance.
