101 Dalmatians Kids | July 20 – 31 | SOLD OUT
Based on the classic animated film, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians KIDS is a fur-raising adventure featuring Cruella De Vil, Disney’s most outrageous villain, and 101 of the most adorable heroes to set their paws onstage. Pet owners, Roger and Anita, live happily in London with their Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, stalwart dogs devoted to raising their puppies. Everything is quiet until Anita’s former classmate, the monstrous Cruella De Vil, plots to steal the puppies for her new fur coat.

Through our one-week Broadway Bootcamp, students will take a variety of classes each day, such as Vocal Technique, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, How to Create a Character, Basic Musicianship, etc. This session is perfect for aspiring performers with some experience in one or more of these disciplines. The goal is that each participant walks away with a new theatrical vocabulary and skill set that will support their growth and success in every production they work on for the rest of their lives.
Grease School Version | July 13 – 24 | SOLD OUT
Grease: School Version retains the fun-loving spirit and immortal songs of the blockbuster show, but removes any profanity, lewd behavior, and Rizzo’s pregnancy scare. The song “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” is also deleted from this edition. Grease: School Version is approximately 15 minutes shorter than the standard version of Grease.
The Spongebob Musical Youth Edition | July 27 – August 7
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and became the hottest star on Broadway? Why, it’s SpongeBob SquarePants! If you have a young comedian in your midst, this one-hour edition of the hit Broadway musical, brilliantly adapted from the iconic Nickelodeon series, is specially tailored for young actors looking to expand their comedic talents. With larger than life character-acting and physical comedy, students will develop the skills to land that laugh on stage in Bikini Bottom!
Mean Girls Jr. | August 10 – 21 | SOLD OUT
This “fetch” musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) is packed with keen wit, an undeniably catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone. Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order?

What costume pieces will my student need for the final performance?
Specific costume information will be available after the show has been cast. However, all students will need a set of underclothes (i.e. tank top + shorts) that they can wear underneath their costume(s) so they can change easily in our studio. If your student wants to continue performing, investing in a pair of jazz shoes or character shoes will serve them well.
