Annie
Leapin' lizards!  With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in Miss Hannigan's orphanage. After escaping from the orphanage, Annie goes on a spree of fun-filled adventures in 1930s New York City.  She foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Along the way she finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Roles in the show include Annie, Daddy Warbucks, President Roosevelt, Grace, Sandy, Orphans, Servants, NYC Tourists, and the "bad guys": Miss Hannigan, Rooster, and Lily.  The show will include all of our "Annie" favorite songs including "Hard Knock Life" and "Tomorrow".  

Frozen and Friends
Calling all campers who love to sing, dance and act! We’ll learn warm-ups, play lots of theatre and improv games, and work on our triple-threat skills.  Campers will learn material from favorite fairytale musicals including "Frozen", "Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "Tangled" and "Cinderella" in preparation for the Friday Showcase for parents.  Campers will be able to audition for small ensembles and solos in addition to participating in the large group musical numbers. If you attended our Frozen camp last summer -- don't worry, you can still have a great time at this camp! We'll make sure you perform in pieces featuring other fairytale characters.

Peter Pan
Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John. But when her father announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan comes to visit the children and whisks them away to the magical world of Never Land. Their adventure introduces them to the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook!  Filled with adventure, music and a beloved hero, Peter Pan is a magical story any young performer will love to be a part of! Roles in the show include Peter Pan, Wendy, John, Michael, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, Smee, Tiger Lily, Lost Boys, Pirates, Never Land Indians, Mermaids and Fairies.


Summer Stock Revue for Ages 13-20

Newsies
Teen performers will have a blast working on their own summer stock show -- a revue of "Newsies".   Training throughout the week will focus on acting, music, and dance technique incorporating spins, leaps, tap, and stunts. The performance on Saturday night will feature all of the most-loved songs from the show including "King of New York", "Seize the Day", and "Carrying the Banner".

Due to the short rehearsal process, auditions will be held in May or early June (date TBD) to cast the show. Performers will receive scripts at that time and are expected to have their lines memorized on the first day of rehearsal.
