Summer Theater Camp 2012

Spend two weeks are spent rehearsing a full-scale musical. Week one will rehearse in our Nyack studios. Week two will rehearse and perform onstage at the Green Meadow School in Chestnut Ridge, NY. Performances take place on the final Friday and Saturday evening of the program at 7:00pm. The amazing result of these two weeks is a complete theatrical production including a professional set, lighting, costumes and props. Each participant in the program plays a significant part in the show whether they play a leading role, featured role or an ensemble part. We welcome newcomers to the stage as well as seasoned pros. Registration is first come first serve. Auditions will take place on the first day of camp.

SEUSSICAL

In this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza, all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters come to life including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
