THT YOUNG COMPANY MUSICAL

Monday-Friday, 1 – 4 pm

DIRECTED BY DOUG ANDERSON
This title is under top consideration from our production team. Disney’s Newsies JR. is a 60-minute musical based on the 1992 motion picture and 2012 Broadway musical. Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. For you singing and dancing worker bees, the musical was inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway newsies on a two-week-long action against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful New York newspaper publishers.

THEATERSPORTS CAMP
Monday-Friday, July 19 – 23 9 am – Noon
WITH ASHLEY BETTON
Theatersports is a type of improvisational theater during which opposing teams perform scenes based on audience suggestions. This theatrical practice encourages performers to be playful, joyful, and fearless in their endeavor to create stories and to take risks in a good-natured, safe environment.
Each camp day will be divided into warm-up games to build teamwork, and then two short matches to see who takes home the trophy for the day!
With all the laughing, your kiddos will never know they are getting a boost in confidence, concentration, and social and emotional learning. Let the hilarity begin!
