Act, sing, and dance the week away at our high-energy full-day camps! You’ll learn and grow your performance skills as you work to put together an actual show in a week.
For those students in an older age-range looking for a little bit more of a challenge, we offer Curtain Up camp for ages 10-14, which will explore a 60-minute adaptation in just one week.
Campers will have the OPTIONAL opportunity to audition for roles on the first day of camp. You do not have to audition in order to be in this camp; all campers will have the chance to act, sing, and dance in these fun, upbeat shows! Kids Camp will learn audition materials as a group on the first day of camp; Curtain Up Camp will have the opportunity to prepare material for an audition on Monday morning (audition materials will be posted by 6/1).
Full-day camps meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at locations all over the metro. The show will be performed at 4 p.m. on Friday at the same location as the camp.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
