Summer Camp

Into The Wood Jr

Show Logo

In this exciting summer camp, students will embark on a journey of putting on a fully-staged 60 minute musical!

Summer camps start the day with a morning conversation around a positive, enriching value or theme for the day, such as compassion, leadership, or communication. There is also wrap up time at the end of the day to conclude the day with reflection on the day’s value or theme.

This camp is a one-week, full day camp. Campers will need to bring a lunch, snack, and water bottle each day.

This is an action-packed and challenging week(s) full of learning, fun, and friends! Students will study acting, music, and dance as part of the rehearsal process, which also includes technical elements such as lights, sound, set, costumes, props, and projections. Camps end with a fully-staged performance!

Audition Information

Students audition prior to the start of the program, however, upon enrollment, every student has a place in the cast. The auditions allow the teaching artists to find the best role for each student.

Students register for an audition time slot, and proceed through the audition process in small groups. Auditions have voice, dance, and acting components and are structured to provide a supportive atmosphere where students are encouraged to be brave and show the artistic team engagement, willingness to learn, and a positive, collaborative spirit. No previous experience is needed.

Show Description:

Be careful what you wish for! Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.

The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.

We were able to secure the rights to make a video recording of this production. DVDs and BluRays will be available to purchase after the show.
