Kids’ Creative Theater classes at The Yard in Chilmark, featuring fun and skills with veteran teaching artists as well as the opportunity to participate alongside professional actors, dancers and singers in The Yard’s Saturday family matinee, begin July 5.

There are six different week-long sessions for children entering first through eighth grades, and a trainee program for high schoolers. Sessions meet 9 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday and 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays for the matinee. There is an open class for family and friends on Friday mornings.

Tuition is $300, or $250 for children enrolled in Martha’s Vineyard public schools, and scholarships are available. For information, call Rachael Jacobson, program director, at 508-645-9662 or e-mail kids@dancetheyard.org.

This year, kids who are Chilmark Community Center members may attend The Yard program from 9 to 10:30, then head over to the CCC from 10:30 to noon for activities there. Tuition is pro-rated.
