July 2 - 7 Music and Lyrics by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Geprge Burns, Tom Adair, Winston Hibler, Ted Sears, Sammy Fain & Jack Lawrence Music Adapted and Arranged and Additional Music and Lyrics by Bryan Louiselle Book Adapted and Additional Lyrics by Marcy Heisler
It's princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday, and Flora, Fauna and Merryweather must use their fairy magic to save her from the spell of evil sorceress Maleficent! This classic fairytale told Disney-style has many roles for a large chorus, from King Stefan and Queen Stefanie's Loyal Subjects to Maleficent's slimy goons. Songs from the beloved film, including "Once Upon a Dream," accompany fun new songs like "Maleficent!" and "A Little Magic Now" to bring a fresh telling of the story to a new generation of kids and families.
In order to be cast in this show you must be enrolled in Musical Theatre Camp. This show will run as part of the Main Stage AND Morning Series.

Main Stage Shows
Hairspray June 29 - July 8 Music by Marc Shaiman Lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman Book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan
HAIRSPRAY delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air! Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?
Hairspray will be cast with students from Musical Theatre Camp and Adults. Students must be enrolled in Musical Theatre Camp to participate.
Spring Awakening July 13 - 22
Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater Music by Duncan Sheik Based on the play by Frank Wedekind
Winner of 8 TONY Awards, including BEST MUSICAL, SPRING AWAKENING celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy, and passion that you will never forget.
Adapted from Frank Wedekind's 1891 expressionist play about the trials, tears, and exhilaration of the teen years, it has been hailed as the "Best Musical of the Year" by the New York Times, New York Post, Star Ledger, Journal News, New York Observer, and USA Today.

Xanadu July 27 - Aug. 5
Book by Douglas Carter Beane Music and Lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar Based on the Universal Pictures film
XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.
This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, and includes, "Magic", "All Over The World", "Suddenly", "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Xanadu", to name a few, and is based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. Full student production (Ages 13 & up) $325 Tuition for students participating
