Merc summer theater camp
The Merc Playhouse will offer a summer theater camp this June with the theme “Reimagined Tales as Old as Time.”
The camp will take place from June 28 to July 2 in three groups — students entering grades nine through 12 will practice from 9 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., students entering grades five through eight will practice from 9 a.m. to noon and students entering grades second through fourth will practice from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Final performances will take place on Saturday, July 3, at the TwispWorks Pavilion.
Most camp activities will take place outdoors and students are asked to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and wear a mask. Students should also bring water and a snack.
Information on registering is available at mercplayhouse.org. Tuition costs $150 with a $50 deposit at registration. Some scholarships are available.
Library puzzle booklet for kids
Friends of the Winthrop Public Library (FOWL) has created an activity and puzzle booklet for elementary school age children to help them learn about libraries, library history and the new Winthrop library that is currently under construction.
The booklet will be distributed to Methow Valley Elementary School children, home-schooled children, and will also be available at the Winthrop and Twisp libraries.
The booklet also highlights a raffle. Kids can buy a $5 raffle ticket for a chance to win a book for themselves and a favorite teacher or librarian. FOWL will draw a winner every Monday until May 9 from entries at both libraries.
More information and extra raffle tickets will be posted at the Winthrop and Twisp libraries.
