As summer starts to wind down and school routines creep back in, Calgary families find special ways to hold on to those last golden days.

Summer is the best time to be a kid. School is out, the weather is great and each day promises a new adventure – at least, that’s how it used to be.

The world of drama, in all its different forms, is a great tool for families who want their children to make their own fun. While we often think of drama taking place in theatres with a cast of tens or more, there are lots and lots of ways to incorporate creative drama games and activities in your own home. And it’s a ton of fun!
