LEWISTON — For one night only, the Summer Professional Theatre Training Program for Young Actors will present “How to Act Like a Child,” an adaptation of  “How to Eat Like a Child” by Delia Efron, at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 26.

There is no cost to attend.

Featuring a hand-picked group of 16 students ranging in ages from 10 to 16, these young thespians have been hard at work for the past three weeks taking daily classes in stage combat, voice and speech, singing and the fundamentals of acting. The Public Theatre’s summer intensive program is a unique alternative to other “drama camps,” as it is taught exclusively by theatre professionals, offering professional insights and standards.

This presentation is directed by Public Theatre Co-Artistic Director Janet Mitchko, and faculty members Barbara Helen Baker and Katy Ameglio. It features hilarious lessons, including “How to torture your sister,” “How to get your parents to buy you a dog,” and “How to act after being sent to your room,” among others, as well as several musical numbers.

For more information call 782-3200. The Public Theatre is located at 31 Maple St, in downtown Lewiston.
