OUR WINTER STUDENT SHOW
In this award winning musical, students enter the world of make-believe, a place where toys learn to be good toys… at "Toy Camp." Hip Cats, cool Puppy Dogs, Teddy Bears, Princesses and Ballerinas along with many others come to Toy Camp to hopefully earn the right to be owned by girls and boys. Not graduating from Toy Camp means certain doom at the Toy Dump! This light-hearted show is full of a variety of toe tapping and heartwarming songs. Toy Camp won the Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest.The material will challenge students from ages 7 and up with singing, acting and dancing. Classes are taught by a choreographer, music director and stage director from Dallas Summer Musicals Academy of Performing Arts. Classes are Thursday evenings from 5:15 – 7:15 with some evenings going until 8:00 pm or additional times added. Classes begin Thursday, September 16, 2010 and end with holiday performances on Saturday, December 11, 2011 at The Hall of State Theatre in Dallas. There is no class Thanksgiving week. Enroll in person at the Park Cities YMCA.
