Still summer best gimik

Check your thermometer, summer is definitely here. It’s time for summer, movies, the beach, malling and hanging out with the gang. For most kids, the question they ask each other is, “What are we doing for summer?”

Some have a ready answer. But most kids and parents don’t have a clue. That’s why we in Trumpets set up Playshop. The biggest performing arts workshop for the new generation.

I remember developing the business strategy for Playshop almost 20 years ago with Audie Gemora and Freddie Santos. We wanted to provide kids with a summer workshop that was fun, that’s why we called it PLAYshop and not WORKshop. We also wanted to give kids the best possible training and their parents the comfort that their children would be in good hands. We then fused excellent instruction with Christian values. And while other performing arts schools just focused on one subject, we diversified ours.

Today, God has allowed Playshop to reach the top. We have over 2,000 students, while holding classes in various venues and provinces. Playshop has even gone international with classes in countries like Hong Kong. We also have a growing number of artists that have gone through Playshop like Christian Bautista, Sam Concepcion and this year’s winner of the World Championship of Performing Arts in Hollywood Los Angeles, Aria Clemente.

Summer is the most exciting time of the year. But statistics shows that summer is also a season where the highest rate of juvenile delinquency occurs. They say “the devil’s playground is an idle mind.” No wonder summer is when most kids are prone to meeting the wrong crowd, trying new things, engaging in new tricks, and passing through adolescent rites of passage.
So if you are a parent, and your goal this summer is to peel your kids away from boredom and into an activity that they can learn from, interact, have fun, and hopefully develop strong values. That’s Playshop.

We’ve got classes in children and advanced musical theater, basic and advanced acting, and one-on-one voice lessons. This year, we are launching Star Power, a specialized voice class with the award-winning group, The Company which includes stage performance techniques, mic techniques, vocal styling and image packaging. Playshop also caters to dance aficionados through our popular street dancing and jazz classes.

But what really sets Playshop apart is that we try our best to take care of your kids. For years, parents have trusted us to share not only performing arts skills but also values that lasts a lifetime. We also try to develop a strong sense of camaraderie between students.

Sign up for summer’s hottest gimmick. It’s not work, it’s more than a play, it’s Playshop. For details, call 636-2842 or log on to www.trumpetsplayshop.com.
