ABOUT THE SHOW

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This year we have added a week to Stinky Feet! An introductory THREE-week camp for our littlest actors. There’s a reason why they call it a “play.” In this program, under the talented direction of Wynsum Jo Kearns (Patti Strickland’s apprentice from years prior), students learn how to have a good time while bringing their own unique voice and personality to the process of creating a show. They’re taught to work together creatively, respecting everyone’s contribution, no matter how small. The camp rehearsals are divided into two age groups which meet Monday through Friday with Saturday and Sunday off. The younger group – ages 5 to 7 – meet from 10 am until noon. The older group – ages 8 to 11 – meet from noon until four o’clock. During these hours, each group works on their particular elements of a 45 minute version of this American classic! At the end of three weeks, the two groups come together for three wonderful live performances for family and friends…and anyone else who wants to buy a ticket!
