[June 24, 2013]    

Friday afternoon the Lincoln Park District's own little theater group put on a play for family and friends. The afternoon event was the end result of a weeklong theater camp led by Mikel Frost at the Rec Center.

On Friday, before beginning the play, Frost spoke briefly about what the six-girl team had learned during the week. He outlined the lessons taught on improvisation through games. Before presenting the play, the girls sat at the edge of the stage and played one of their favorite games, "World's Worst." 

Frost called out a profession or action of some type, and the girls took turns taking the stage and acting it out. Some of the people they had to impersonate were "world's worst" dancer, doctor and teacher.
