(AGES 5-8)
Monday-Thursday
AM Sessions: 8:30 am-12:30pm
PM Sessions: 1pm - 5pm
Using creative drama activities students will explore their active
imaginations by bringing to life classics. Our camp day is broken
into a diverse and rich performing arts curriculum where singing,
creative movement and dance, acting, mime, improvisation and arts
and crafts are included in every camp day. Some face painting and
dress up are included in our weekly curriculum. To ensure that our
students get a real theater experience, each session culminates
in a final evening performance at our theater with costumes and
stage lights galore!!
All Younger Company sessions include singing and dancing and
are staffed by a director, musical director, choreographer, and
costumer.
Session 1AM: Toy Story
June 1– June 17 (3 weeks)
Performance: Wednesday, June 16 at 7PM
NOTE: Camp will run Tues-Fri the first week of camp
due to Memorial Day.
RMTK brings you a wonderful adaptation of this heart-felt
classic. Toy cowboy Woody thinks he is child owner Andy’s
favorite toy until he is challenged by high-tech space hero Buzz
Lightyear, who believes he is real and not a mere toy. A rivalry
ensues until the safety of the toys is threatened by the evil kid
next door, whose idea of fun is feeding stuffed dolls to his ugly
dog. Come join Woody and Buzz in their effort to save the day! And
discover the magic of character work and play!
Session 1PM: Rainbow Fish
June 1– June 17 (3 weeks)
Performance: Thursday, June 17 at 7PM
NOTE: Camp will run Tues-Fri the first week of camp due to
Memorial Day.
Rainbow Fish has the most beautiful and shiny scales in the ocean,
so when other fish ask him for some of his silver scales, he refuses.
How could a fish that is known for being beautiful give up the one
thing that makes him unique? A wise old Octopus gives him some advice
that may in fact change Rainbow Fish’s life and reputation.
Come join us this summer for a wonderful and playful adaptation
of Rainbow Fish, a play that will be filled with interesting movement
and beautiful music.

Fox
June 21– July 8 (3 weeks)

Join the fantastic Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, their family, Badger, Rabbit,
Weasel, and others. Mr. Fox can’t resist his instinct and
temptation to steal food from the crooked farmers Boggis, Bunce,
and Bean. After several successful thefts by Mr. Fox, the mean farmers
group together to ruin Mr. Fox’s escapades. Disaster ensues
and RMTK is about to take you on a thrilling fox chase. With an
emphasis on strong character development, our cast will be working
hard to steal your hearts.

June 21– July 8 (3 weeks)

This beloved favorite comes to the stage this summer as fretful
Marlin and his young son Nemo are separated from each other in the
Great Barrier Reef. Unexpectedly taken from the ocean, Nemo is thrust
into a fish tank in a dentist's office. Friendly but forgetful,
Dory helps the overly cautious Marlin embark on a dangerous trek

filled with comedy for emerging young actors. .

Things Are

How WE'RE DIFFERENT
from other camps!!
-
We don’t try to do it all!
We offer quality youth theater programs and we do it well because
that’s all that we do! Our teachers are first and foremost
teachers trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.
-
Our shows are unique! We train
our students to think outside the box by encouraging them to
think beyond what they see. We introduce the concepts of magical
realism, surrealism, play, and pantomime.
-
Low student-teacher ratio of 8:1!
We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs
well-staffed with a low student-teacher ratio.
-
Building a strong non-competitive community
is our priority. Sharing circles, trust activities,
ensemble work and a sense of ritual accompany all the work we
do and the students thrive on it!
