RED RIDING HOOD Musical Theatre Camp Set for WHBPAC, 7/6

Calling all young actors and actresses! WHBPAC's Arts Education Program is looking for youngsters, ages 6* - 16, to participate in its week-long summer Musical Theatre Camp, Red Riding Hood. Campers will rehearse from Monday, July 6 through Friday, July 10 culminating in a public performance on Friday night. The fee for the camp is $450.

Go over the river and through the wood to this camp full of fun and surprises! Campers are cast on Monday, and by Friday, they are performance-ready with costumes and sets! And when they're not rehearsing with Missoula Children's Theatre Directors, campers will take classes with highly-acclaimed WHBPAC Teaching Artists in theatre, improvisation and music. A Pizza Party, Ice Cream Social and Spirit Days round out a perfect week of camp!

Then, campers will present an original rendition of King Arthur's Quest, starring 60 local campers and 2 adult actors. Red Riding Hood, not so little anymore, and her pre-teen pals try to stay on the straight and narrow in the latest adventure from the Missoula Children's Theatre, RED RIDING HOOD. The Big Bad Wolf, who is not so bad after all, and a friendly neighborhood Forest Ranger urge our heroes to stay true to the path, for in the Shadows lurk diversions and a sinister surprise or two. A pack of woefully nasty young wolves and a handsome Woodsman, too good to be true, are a must for our story. And we can't have a wolf tale without Three Little Pigs and even a Boy Who Cries...you guessed it. With help from her family and a loyal young Locksmith (he carries the key), Red finds her Grandma and a whole lot more. Now if only she could retrieve her picnic basket from those rascally Raccoons. Life is no picnic when you stray from the trail!

*Must be entering first grade in Fall of 2015.
