Summer Camp
Into The Woods Jr.

This Show is SOLD OUT! Check out PAA’s other shows for Grades 7-12, including Anything Goes Youth Edition, Addams Family – Young Part, and Tuck Everlasting – Youth Edition.
Presented in partnership with The City of Greenwood Village/Curtis Center For The Arts.
In this exciting summer camp, students will have the opportunity to rehearse and present a fully staged musical in just one week. Campers are guided through the complete production process—from first rehearsal to final performance—while building confidence, teamwork, and artistic skills.
Each day begins with a morning community conversation centered on a positive message such as compassion, leadership, or communication. Campers revisit this daily theme during a guided reflection at the end of the day, encouraging community-building alongside artistic development.
This is a one-week, full-day camp. Campers should bring a lunch, snack, and water bottle each day. This is an action-packed and intentionally challenging week, offering students the opportunity to study acting, music, and dance as part of the rehearsal process.
The week culminates in a fully staged performance. **Ticket purchase required**.
Audition Information
Students audition prior to the start of the program; however, every enrolled student is guaranteed a role in the cast. Auditions are used to help the teaching artists thoughtfully place each student in a role that best supports their strengths, growth, and overall experience.
Students will register for an audition time slot and audition in small groups. The audition process includes singing, movement, and acting components and is designed to be welcoming and encouraging. Students are supported throughout the process and are encouraged to demonstrate engagement, a willingness to learn, and a positive, collaborative attitude.
No prior theatre experience is required.
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 are not allowed to make a video recording of this production.
