Are your kids and teens psyched for the holidays but worried about what to do while they’re off from school the week after? Well, Curtain Call is proud to bring highlights of its summer youth programming to you during the post-holiday season with our JULY IN CHRISTMAS full-day workshop program, offering creative opportunities for students grades 4 through 12, December 27 through 29, 2021 (with a special day of classes for grade K-5 on December 28)!
