Mankato Community Education

Aeroponics is a method of producing plants without using soil and can easily be done in an apartment, town home, your garage, or house. We will be constructing our own aeroponics system that could be used to grow leafy greens, herbs, and a limited number of vegetable plants. Once constructed, we will learn the basic of caring for our aeroponics systems to ensure years of fresh, local produce!

Come down and make some beads with us! Using air dry clay you can make your own beads! For bracelets, necklaces, charms and more.

BEAUTY & THE BEAST JR Ages 11-16 Directed By Paul Christianson 2 week residency 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM (Daily) The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. Youth cast in this show will participate in all aspects of play production from acting to set creation, costume and makeup design. This drama experience is more consistent with the experience a young actor would encounter in future high school or community plays.
