James and the Giant Peach Jr (Wednesdays 4:30-6:30 starting Sept 3)

Cinderella Youth Edition (Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 Starting Sept 3)
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this enthralling fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. Ages requirements: 6th-12th grade but we are accepting 4th and 5th graders through Live audition only. Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 Aug 27-Dec 13. Shows Dec 12-14, must be available tech week Dec 7-11 tuition $495 includes cast tshirt. Venue TBD
