They awake in a land full of munchkins, flying monkeys, ruby slippers, a yellow brick road, a good witch, a wicked witch, and a mysterious wizard. Though missing Aunt Em and Uncle Henry back in Kansas, Dorothy and Toto make new friends-- a Scarecrow seeking a brain, a Tinman seeking a heart, and a cowardly Lion seeking courage-- who help Dorothy discover the power she has had inside her all along and remember "there's no place like home." Broadway Juniors is a one-week encouraging introductory musical theater experience for young actors, specifically designed for ages 5-7. Guided by a fabulous Skyline Teaching Artist, Juniors actors are empowered to express themselves and find all the fun of bringing a character to life onstage. Broadway Juniors will enhance reading skills by reciting lines, learn to sing loudly and clearly to songs they love, and develop coordination and physical stamina through basic dance steps. In addition to show rehearsals, days will be packed with playing acting games, coloring show-themed art projects, and fun in the sun with friends while visiting the park for outdoor lunch and recess. Actors will be motivated throughout their camp by the anticipation and shared goal of presenting their show with lights, sound, and scenery. Every actor will feel the thrill of make believe, the glow of lighting up the stage, and pride in their hard work coming together as they perform for friends and family on the final date of their camp.
