Stage Door – The Big Bad Musical (No Camp July 3) (Ages: 12-15)
The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters who want to get even: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after. This 3-week camp builds toward public performances of “Big Bad Musical.” You’ll be challenged to fully engage your creativity, to develop a memorable character, and to work as part of a team while gaining valuable stage experience. Camp concludes with two fully staged performances–Thursday evening and Friday afternoon.
