Playhouse Players: The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley JR.  | 

Ages 7 – 12

The beloved children’s book written by Jeff Brown is a literary and pop culture phenomenon, delighting readers all around the world. And now, everyone’s favorite two-dimensional hero has a new life in The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley JR. Filled with infectious songs and non-stop adventure, Flat Stanley JR. is a perfect show to introduce young performers to the magic of live theatre.

Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday ten-year-old until the bulletin board on the wall above his bed comes loose and falls right on top of him. The next morning, Stanley wakes up flat. In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley — the ultimate exchange student — scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He’s stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond, all in an effort to become a three-dimensional boy once more.

Stanley’s journey takes him all across the globe, to many interesting locales, filled with lots of colorful characters, which make for great casting opportunities.

“Will Food Be Provided?”

  • No – all campers should come with a packed lunch and snacks! We ask that food be nut-free to be cautious of our classmates with series food allergies.

“When is Drop Off and Pick Up?”

Read More

  • We will open our doors at 8:50am. Until then, we are not responsible for supervising your camper. Pick up is at 3:30pm. There is no aftercare available at this time.

“How Many Campers Are in Each Session?”

Read More

  • Up to 30 campers maximum will be in  Playhouse Players: CATS: Young Actors Edition.

“What Does My Student Need to Bring to Camp?”

Read More

  • Every day, your camper should come with:
    • A lunch and snacks
    • A water bottle
    • Closed toed shoes
    • Clothes they can move in comfortably
    • Their script (which they will receive on the 2nd day of camp)
  • For dress rehearsals and performances, your camper will need to provide their costume “Base Layer”
  • The Base Layer is:
    • A plain white or black undershirt (T-shirt or tank top)
    • Black dance/bike shorts or leggings
  • These are modesty garments that will be worn under their costumes so that no camper is fully undressing backstage.

“What is the Daily Schedule?”

Read More

  • Here’s a sample schedule for a day of camp:
    • 9:00-9:30am: Check-Ins and Vocal/Physical Warm Up
    • 9:30-10:30am: Blocking Rehearsal
    • 10:30-11:30am: Music Rehearsal

“When is the Final Performance?”

Read More

  • On the last day of camp; Friday, July 17 at 2pm and 4:30pm.  There will be no tickets sold for the performances – seating capacity allows for each student to have 2 guests maximum to attend each showtime.

“How does casting work?”

Read More

  • Campers will audition all together on the first day of camp, and receive role assignments at the end of the day. Before the first day, we will provide camp families with the songs for the singing audition, but instructors will also teach and practice the songs with the whole group on the first day.
  • No camper will be forced to sing by themselves if they don’t want to audition for a singing solo, but if they decline to participate in the audition, they will not receive a role with a solo singing part. They will still have a role in the show that sings with the whole group.
  • Just like a professional musical, there are principal roles and ensemble roles within the show, and every student will receive their own individual role assignment. We rely heavily on the entire ensemble of students and every role is essential to the production. We aim to cast so that every student is very busy during their rehearsals!

“I have an 11 or 12 year old, should they do Matilda or CATS? What is the difference?”

Read More

  • Matilda campers will have more time to play throughout the day. Your child will be among the oldest students in the program and be able to mentor younger children. This is a wonderful introduction to anyone interested in being part of a production; no experience necessary.
  • CATS will be more challenging, requiring additional focus and dedication. Your child will be among the youngest in the cast and will be able to learn from the older students who are part of the production. There will be more challenging harmonies and choreography.
