SHOW: Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition AGES: 5 - 11 WHEN: June 9 – June 29 TIMES: Monday through Friday (see Rehearsal times below) PROGRAM PRICE: $650 PERFORMANCES: June 28 at 11am & 2pm and June 29 at 11am
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 8 – meet from 10 am until noon. The older group – ages 9 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!
ABOUT THE SHOW You’ll love this fanciful and heartwarming stage adaptation of the celebrated 1939 film. Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home.

SHOW: Footloose The Musical AGES: 15 - 25 WHEN: June 16 - July 13 PROGRAM PRICE: $850 PERFORMANCES: July 11 at 7pm, July 12 at 2pm & 7pm, and July 13 2pm & 7pm.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM A professional level four-week program under the co-direction of Rubicon favorites, Joseph Fuqua and Seryozha La Porte with choreography by Aliza Barroca (Elle Woods from last summer’s Legally Blonde the Musical.) Students in this course spend seven hours a day, six days a week, vigorously training, rehearsing and performing a musical production. During this period, students gain confidence in character interpretation, story structure, movement, vocal production and stagecraft, building a common and supportive bond with their fellow actors. The five weeks culminate in a series of performances in front of a live audience.
ABOUT THE SHOW To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. The preacher’s defiant daughter takes a liking to Ren, prompting her roughneck boyfriend to undermine Ren’s standing, with many locals quick to distrust the new kid. The poignant tale unfolds as a father mourns his lost son while Ren longs for the father who abandoned him. Based on the 1984 film.

SHOW: Drowsy Chaperone Jr. AGES: 12 - 14 WHEN: June 30 - July 27 PROGRAM PRICE: $750 PERFORMANCES: July 25 at 7pm, July 26 at 2pm & 7pm, and July 27 at 2pm & 7pm.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM A four-week in-depth musical theatre experience for young people directed by Rubicon Youth Program alumnus and Pacific Conservatory Theatre (formerly PCPA) graduate, Seryozha La Porte. This program introduces younger actors to the deeper disciplines involved in putting on a musical production. Following the more rigorous schedule established for Musical Theatre Workshop, the middle school Musical Theatre Camp rehearses six days a week for seven hours each day. Students learn and grow through the use of theatre games, dance training, vocal exercise and scene study, preparing them for the more advanced levels of theatre that will carry them through to our older programs, all while putting on a musical theatre production with 5 live performances.
ABOUT THE SHOW A delightfully madcap homage to 1920s musicals, The Drowsy Chaperone Jr. is a meta-theatrical romp that playfully pokes fun at Golden Age musicals. A theatre-loving Man in Chair plays his favorite 1920’s record, bringing a fictional show to life in his living room. We follow a giddy bride and groom, a goofy best man, a weaselly producer, gangsters disguised as pastry chefs, a bombastic Latin swain, and a drowsy chaperone. Packed with toe-tapping tunes and vaudevillian schtick, The Drowsy Chaperone Jr. guarantees side-splitting laughter from start to finish.
