A Different Kind of Spring Break Experience!
This year, we are excited to introduce a brand-new format for our Spring Break camp for kids 7 to 12 years old. It is an immersive musical theatre experience designed for children who are interested in performing, creating, and working as part of a production team.
Throughout the week, kids will stay active, creative, and engaged while working toward a full-scale musical theatre performance of Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS which will be presented to family and friends on Friday afternoon.
ABOUT THE CAMP
The camp culminates in a live performance on Friday afternoon, where participants will showcase everything they have learned during the week. This performance is an integral part of the camp experience and reflects the serious, goal-oriented nature of the program.

Auditions & Casting (optional)
Participants who wish to have speaking roles must audition. Audition scripts will be provided. Auditions will be scheduled during February (online), after parents/guardians register campers and indicate interest during the registration process. If you wish to audition for a speaking role be sure to register before February.
Note: By registering your child and indicating interest in a speaking role, you consent to be contacted for an audition, and — if cast — for your child to commit to learning lines and rehearsing.
Non-Speaking Roles
Those not cast in speaking roles will join the chorus/ensemble, performing singing, dancing, and ensemble lines — and are expected to learn and rehearse their music and choreography.

Each day, participants will work on the dialogue, songs and choreography for different scenes–sometimes in smaller groups and sometimes coming together to work on staging.
