Over the course of the semester, the actors will audition and rehearse the one-act play, The Just So Stories, that will be performed at the studio for families on April 26 at 1pm and 3pm. Rehearsals take place Fridays from 12-2pm, beginning Friday, January 30 and ending Friday, April 24. Registration is open to children ages 9-16!
Five of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, including How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin and How the Elephant Got His Trunk are included here. The tales are brought vividly to life by Kipling's young daughter, Elsie, and a group of new friends she has made during a visit with her aunt while her parents are away. Elsie receives in the mail from her father a recently published copy of his new book, a series of animal adventures. She and her friends eagerly act out the stories until they come to the final one which, to the surprise of her friends, Elsie is reluctant to enact. The ending, which holds a surprise or two, is moving and uplifting as Elsie learns something about herself and her friends as well.
Participants must be 9 years to 16 years old when the program starts.
Registration starts on 10/19/2025 and ends on 02/06/2026.
