The power of newsprint: Putting on a play means using every ounce of your creativity—even making costumes out of newspapers. Tricks of the trade like this are part of the theatrical experience explored at the Summer Theatre Conservatory Program offered over the summer by California Theatre Center in Sunnyvale. Registrations are being taken now for the various educational programs in San Jose, Sunnyvale, Saratoga and Los Altos. The different sessions are designed for ages 6-8 and 8 and up; call 408.245.2979 for details.
