For rising 4th-7th graders, Musical Theater Camp for Kids: Into the Woods Jr.* offers a 2-week exploration of the art of musical theater while promoting confidence and instilling the spirit of collaboration in aspiring young performers. 

Directed by Debby Jenkins, an accomplished veteran musical theater educator with expertise in music direction, campers will build skills in musicality, vocal performance, acting, movement, and stage etiquette as they are led through the beginning-to-end process of putting on a musical: casting**, table reads/table work, learning music, blocking and staging, choreography, rehearsing songs and scenes, adding technical elements (costumes, props, wigs, lights, sound, set), and finally, performing in front of an audience. 

Additionally, campers will participate in fun, hands-on musical theater-themed enrichment activities to practice and reinforce the skills they will be building throughout the 2-week rehearsal process. The camp will culminate in 2 performances of Into the Woods Jr. at Constellation Playhouse.

*Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods Jr. covers the comedic and happy-ending Act 1 of the musical, which follows a baker and his wife as they venture into the woods to break a witch's curse by collecting magical items from familiar fairy tale characters. 

**Notes on casting: 
- Into the Woods does not have a chorus, so every camper will be cast in a specific role. 
- Roles vary in type, size, and vocal & acting range. These factors will be considered during the casting process. 
- Auditions/vocal assessments and casting will take place on the first day camp after learning material from the show.
- Campers who are interested in taking on larger roles are encouraged to arrive at camp as familiar with the show as possible. 
- It is likely that not every camper will be cast in their first-choice role. Campers are encouraged to be flexible and have at least 3 roles that they are open to playing. 
- Casting will not be gender-specific. 

Camp Showcases: Into the Woods Jr. will be held on Friday, June 20 @ 11:00am & 3:00pm.

What you'll need for camp:
- Filled water bottle
- Sack lunch
- Additional snacks, as needed 
- Closed-toe athletic or dance shoes with clean soles (no open sandals or flip-flops permitted)
- Comfortable clothes for dancing/moving
