7 to 9 pm

Family classes are designed for parents, guardians, and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and

child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

It’s showtime! Work together to create a production while exploring acting, singing and dancing

skills. The 1950’s are out, and change is in the air! “Hairspray JR” is the family-friendly musical piled

bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs—adapted from the Broadway

production that won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It’s 1962, and spunky, plus-size

teen, Tracy Turnblad, has one big dream—to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show.” When she

finally gets her shot, she’s transformed from social outcast to sudden star. In balancing her newfound

power with her desire for justice, Tracy fights to dethrone the reigning Miss Teen Hairspray, Amber

von Tussle, and integrate a TV network in the process. With the help of her outsized mom, Edna,

and guest D.J. Motormouth Maybelle, the rhythm of Tracy’s new beat just might prove unstoppable.

There’s a part for everyone in this fun show, and all campers will participate in the production.

Attendance is mandatory at all rehearsals and public performances.

printed at MAC on a Golding Official

Press donated by Copper Canyon. In fact,

if you sign up for MAC’s Letterpress

class with Nate Orton (see page 40), you

can use the very same press on your own

project! In celebration of National Poetry

Month, enjoy one of the poems featured

in Word-Works by Annette, written in

Alberta Park, July 1978:

I woke up one morningfeeling bad. I feltlike a shark withno teeth. I felt

like a lawnmowerwith no motor,and a book withno pictures or

Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP & R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or online at www.PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503–823–4333. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on–site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre–school and youth category, up through age 12.
