Northern Stage 2025 Summer Musical Theater Intensive to Present AMÉLIE

Northern Stage's 2025/26 season kicks off with the Summer Musical Theater Intensive (SMTI) production of Amélie, with book by Craig Lucas, music by Daniel Messé, and lyrics by Nathan Tysen and Daniel Messé.

Based on the beloved motion picture written by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Guillaume Laurant, the production runs from July 29 to August 3, 2025 in the Byrne Theater at the Barrette Center for the Arts. Amélie is directed by Kevin David Thomas, who now serves as Co-Director of Education at Northern Stage.

Each summer, Northern Stage's SMTI program provides professional-level theater training for students ages 12-18. Over five weeks, participants rehearse and perform a fully realized musical alongside a professional creative team, extending the standards of Northern Stage's main stage productions to young performers.

Amélie tells the whimsical story of an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world but loudly in her imagination. When she discovers the power of small acts of kindness, Amélie sets out to change the lives of those around her, and eventually her own. Set in the romantic streets of Paris, the musical is a charming celebration of human connection, bursting with colorful characters, a captivating score, and a heartfelt reminder of the beauty in everyday life.
