The Fairy Tale Network is a television network that needs to improve its viewership ratings with exciting new programming.  The three mice working as creative consultants for the studio each must come up with a story idea to pitch to their new chief, the Cat.  And they need to pitch their ideas fast before they become a fancy feast!  They retell the well-known tales of Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Pigs, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but now with new, unexpected twists.  The crew of Busy Bees racing on props and sometimes even becoming the set pieces themselves makes this play a fast-paced comedy for all.

Memorization help will be needed at home, but lessons, rehearsals and tech/dress rehearsals will occur during camp hours. Students should dress comfortably with sneakers.

Hello, Shakespeare!

Rising 2nd--10th Grade

This fast-paced comedy is an entertaining way to introduce student actors and their audiences to the wonderful world of Shakespeare.  A narrator and her irreverent helper comically provide a brief biography of the playwright, who appears in protest to make sure they get the details right.  Drawing from Shakespeare’s long list of histories, comedies, and tragedies, a grand parade of the Bard’s most cherished and famous characters follows.  They humorously reenact brief moments from their plays and recite famous lines in this whirlwind introduction to Shakespeare that has something for everyone.

CAMP INFO.: Everyone that enrolls will be cast in the play. Students will audition for specific roles on the first day of camp. Memorization help will be needed at home, but lessons, rehearsals and tech/dress rehearsals will occur during camp hours. Students should dress comfortably with sneakers.
