“Somewhere at the end of the sidewalk grass is pink.

And the dreams that you dare to dream happen in a blink.”

Come try out your acting, singing, and dancing skills in a fun and exciting musical theatre camp. In one week’s time you will learn valuable performance and dramatic lessons while rehearsing and eventually performing “Alice in OzaWanka” a fantastical journey into the world of zany characters such as the Wicked Witch, Glenda (the good witch), “Nono” (Alice’s dog), the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, Oompa Loompas, the Candy Man and many other colorful personalities. Everyone will have a part!

The camp dates from which to choose are:

July 26 – 30 and August 9 – 13.

10:00 – 3:00 each day with a performance on Friday at 2:00.
