What is the Tiny Tots Troop?
The Tiny Tots Troop falls under the Harford Drama Guild, which also encompasses the Youth Actors Troop, Teen Actors Troop, the Adult Actors Troop and Karaoke Koncerts(tm) and are programs established through the Havre de Grace Rec Committee and directed by Tom Barnes. A student director may assist the director from time to time, however an adult is always present with the Tiny Tot Actors. For more information on any of these programs, please follow the links to the left.
What ages are part of the Tiny Tots Troop?
This troop is for kids in grades K-2 and in the age ranges of 5 to 8. 8 year olds in the 3rd grade must belong to the Youth Actors Troop. We only allow 8 slots. However, if we find the need to increase the number of slots or add another program , we will do so as we add adult staff to our troop or find additional meeting space. Parents that wish to volunteer may contact me at 410-702-5914.
When and where are meetings?
The Tiny Tots Troop meets on Saturdays, January 5th through Febuary 23rd 2009, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Meetings are held at the Havre de Grace Activity Center located at 351 Lewis Lane in Havre de Grace (next to the HDG Middle School) unless otherwise noted.
Is there a cost to belong to Tiny Tots?
Yes. The 8 week session cost is $30.
What happens at meetings?
The Tiny Tot actors are taught varying basic techniques that are age and grade appropriate. This is done through games, movies, "classroom instruction," handouts, etc.
What are the expectations of my child?
Acting is like life in general - a persons expectations has to be their own. Therefore, aside from proper behavior, we will not force your child to do anything they do not want to do. We will encourage them to be participatory (after all, the troop is not a babysitting service) but what is most important is that they do what they are comfortable with. Our goal is to encourage them to build character through drama, not to traumatize them so they are afraid of the stage.
Important Dates:
Meetings are from January 5th through February 23rd, 2009. Registration date is TBD, however we will take mail or dropped off forms. Registration is frist come first serve. If we find a need to add a second class and if space is available we will do so.
