Seuss! This is a 3 week auditioned musical theatre camp culminating in 3 ticketed shows of Seussical the Musical KIDS. The super exciting musical follows the story of Horton the Elephant trying to save a young Who called JoJo and the rest of the Whos in Whoville. The musical features many of Dr.Seuss’ most loved characters including The Grinch and The Cat In The Hat! Join this superb musical for 3 weeks full of fun, imagination, and brilliant rehearsals whilst also focusing on themes of love, friendship and loyalty! PLEASE NOTE: Auditions are required to enroll in this camp, which is open to advanced young performers, and not all students will be selected for this advanced camp. Auditions will determine whether or not a student is admitted to this camp, and callbacks will take place on the first day of camp, June 10, to determine roles.
