When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and along the way meet a Scarecrow that needs a brain, a Tin Man missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage. Based on the book by L. Frank Baum, First Act Children’s Theatre invites you along for a week full of fantastical fun, with workshops, theatre games, singing, dancing, and a fully produced musical at the end of the week! For students entering second grade through eighth, this is a First Act classic not to be missed!
From novice to experienced young performers, our summer production camps provide a universal approach to children's theatre that embraces diversity and encourages inclusion and self-esteem. Audition skills are introduced and refined. Creative movement, vocal strength, memory development, acting technique, singing, dancing, and group cooperation are fostered throughout the entire five-day camp. The fun culminates in a FREE fully costumed performance for family and friends!
