Summertime means a lot of things to a lot of people but here at the Lorain Palace Theater summer
means it is time for our beloved summer Palace Youth Theater program.
2017 is a BIG year for Palace Youth Theater! Now in it’s 40th season this year will be a celebration of
Palace Youth Theater’s long and storied history that will culminate with “SHREK: The Musical Jr.”
As usual, all of our students will all get a comprehensive theater education experience in our beautiful,
historic theater as well as be a part of our full stage production!
The 2017 Palace Youth Theater activities begin with a Parents / Student Meeting on Saturday, June
10, 2017 at 10:00 AM to discuss the program, meet the staff, and learn how parental involvement is
the key to the success of the program. Auditions will be held the first two days of camp. Students,
ages 8 through 18, begin daily classes on Monday, June 12, 2017. A six-week blending of Theater
education, technology (NO child will be on tech crew. We will have tech classes only!), and selfesteem building experiences, concluded by the presentation of a full-scale, family oriented musical
Theater production on Friday, July 21, Saturday, July 22, and Sunday, July 23 2017. The Palace
Youth Theater Program offers a fun and rewarding experience for all.
CLASSES RUN DAILY FROM 9:15 AM – 2:00 PM (July 4th Off)
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday – Participants should bring a lunch on these days. We
do sell large water bottles for $1.00 if they do not bring their own beverage. We do have
“Pizza Friday” where the students will be able to purchase pizza, pop and candy at a reduced rate. An
order form is sent home each Monday for pizza and is to be returned by Wednesday.
Tuesday – Classes are dismissed at 12:00 PM due to the Summer Fun Movie Series.
Students must be picked up by 12:00 PM unless they have permission to attend the movie. Students
staying for the movie should bring a lunch on Tuesday as well. The Summer Fun Movies are FREE to
PYT students!

For the safety of all students and staff, it is imperative that students follow our dress code guidelines.
Please take notice of what your child is wearing before dropping him or her off at the Palace. All
students and staff must wear shoes that enclose the entire foot; no sandals, flip flops, Crocs or clogs.
Tennis/athletic shoes are preferred when not in costume. Only walking shorts and long pants are
allowed; NO short shorts and skirts. They leave more space for injury. NO JEANS. Appropriate
undergarments and long/short sleeve, traditional full-body shirts must be worn at all times; NO cap
sleeves, halters, spaghetti straps, or exposed midriffs due to dancing, stretching, or bending. We don’t
want students to become embarrassed or worried about personal hygiene concerns. We may ask for a
paint/cleaning shirt that can get highly dirty.
Thank you for your interest in the Palace Youth Theater this year. We are looking forward to hearing
from you!
