Like so many girls her age, Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a tornado hits her farm and carries her away to another world. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy's imagination. A classic delight for all ages, The Wizard of Oz is a fantastical, magical, musical adventure!
This intensive four-week program will teach the fundamentals of theater, music, and dance - all in the process of creating a fully-staged production of the hit musical, The Wizard of Oz! All participants get the opportunity to perform in the show and work with professional theater artists who will coach them in the improvement of their acting, singing, and dance skills. In addition to staging the show, participants will engage in daily theater and improv games that help them build confidence and create vibrant characters on stage, engage in workshops that provide a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes aspects of theater such as costume, make-up and set design, go swimming in the JCC's outdoor pool, and make meaningful friendships through the theater ensemble they'll build! This innovative and unique summer experience provides youth with excellent theater arts training that promotes personal and artistic growth, and is a great choice for both experienced and novice performers who are committed to improving their skills and eager to learn about the theatrical process! Space is limited so register early!
