Summer Theatre Academy
Spend your Summer with Backdoor!
The Summer Theatre Academy at Backdoor Theatre promises two weeks of fun and learning! Your child will gain valuable theatre skills, confidence, self- esteem, and a love of creativity, through theatre games, acting and performance.
In these fun and fast-paced 2-week musical theatre academy, students will produce a musical revue complete with costumes, lights, and stage makeup! Under the direction and guidance of Charlotte Dameron, Backdoor Theatre’s youth education director, students will not only be preparing for their dynamic final performance, but they will also receive training in voice, acting, dance, and production from trained theatre artists and instructors.
Session 1 - Ages 7-10
June 18th - 30th
(8:30 am - 12:30 pm)
The Journey of Gnoble Gnarble: The ocean floor is filled with the rarest of creatures, but none are as rare as gnarbles. Their fins are small, their tails are floppy, and they have never strayed far from their homes…until now. Journey of the Noble Gnarble is a story of a little gnarble with a big dream, who tries to make it past doubting blyfish, sneaky subbalubbles, and hungry plinks on his way to the surface of the sea. Along the way he befriends the glinny glims who teach him the importance of positivity and determination!
Session 2 - Ages 11-14
July 9th - 20th
(8:30 am - 12:30 pm)
PRESS START: transports us inside the bright, pixelated world of video games! When the famous characters we know and love run out of lives, they decide to put on a musical fundraiser that will help them raise gold rings and play on. Through hilarious and heartfelt musical numbers we see the heroes, villains and sidekicks like we’ve never seen them before. But when things go terribly awry, it’s the quiet sidekick Little Mushroom who must find the hero within to help save the day!
Two performances will take place for each session on the final Saturday of Summer Theatre Academy. The Sunday afternoon performance will be a "Pay What You Can" event to raise money for future Theatre School Scholarship.
