Summer Camp
Wizard of Oz Youth Edition
This Show is SOLD OUT! Check out PAA’s other shows for Grades 3-6, including Wizard of Oz (Parker), Aladdin KIDS, Frozen KIDS.
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 two-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:
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
