Is this a summer camp?
This is a theatrical production, not a traditional summer camp. While students will have fun and stay active during daytime rehearsal hours, participation also comes with responsibilities outside of rehearsal. Students are expected to listen to music, practice lines, and review choreography at home as needed throughout the production process. Being part of a show is a lot of fun, but it also requires commitment, preparation, and personal responsibility.
What do I, as the parent, need to do?
Parents will need to join the BAND app for program communication. Students may also join if families would like them to have direct access to rehearsal videos, costume information, and other production updates.
After roles are assigned, families will be responsible for ordering any required costume pieces for their child’s character.
All families will also be asked to volunteer in some way during show week. Volunteer opportunities may include set building and strike, ticket taking, backstage support, and helping with concessions or merchandise.
Is this program a good fit for my child's learning needs?
We welcome students of all skill levels and abilities and strive to create an inclusive theatre environment where every child has the opportunity to shine. Many students with diverse learning styles and support needs thrive in our program, and we work thoughtfully to help each student find a role where they can be successful.
Our rehearsals are structured as a collaborative group learning environment. Students learn through active participation as well as by observing peers, listening to direction, and following the rehearsal process during times when they are not actively performing.
Students who benefit from occasional quiet downtime may, in some cases, bring quiet self-directed activities during appropriate rehearsal periods while remaining part of the group setting.
Because our staff is focused on theatre instruction for the full group, we are not able to provide one-on-one behavioral support or individualized supervision. Students should be able to participate safely and respectfully in a group setting.
We encourage families to reach out before registering to discuss any support needs and whether our program is the right fit.
DISNEY'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND JR
