Summer Youth Design Camp

February 17, 2025

Let your imagination go as you design costumes and props for Seussical,  the Summer Camp musical.  And that’s not all!  You’ll learn about set design so you can create an actor’s “world” on stage – anything from a castle dungeon to a classroom in the year 2099. Lighting design will let you light up the stage or pick out a single face in the crowd. I can’t wait to teach you the amazing world of theater design! Design Camp will fill each day with fun, ideas, designing, and discovery.

Improv Level 1: Improv Fundamentals

February 14, 2025


Ready to let go, connect, and unleash your creativity? Join us for a fun journey of laughter, spontaneity and endless possibilities as we explore the fundamentals of improv in a supportive environment. Students will learn the fundamentals of improv through a series of engaging exercises, games, and scene work as each week builds on what was learned the previous week. We will focus on building trust, sharpening listening skills, gaining confidence to think creatively in the moment, the concept of Yes And…, and so much more. Not only will you have a ton of fun, you will build self-confidence, soft business skills, and meet new people! Taught by Stacey Willard.

Seussical the Musical – Sunday Matinee

February 13, 2025


“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Seussical is fun for the whole family!
