AFTER SCHOOL ACADEMY
CampTMP After School Academy is a great way to integrate theater arts into your student’s education! This program meets two afternoons a week for two hours over five weeks and culminates in a performance of a 30–60-minute musical. After School Academy is intended to give students in grades 1 through 8 the opportunity to work on musical theater skills; dance, singing, and acting, as well as important life skills like collaboration and teamwork. This program is offered three times annually: September-October, February-March, and April-May, and is open to students from all districts and homeschooling families.

Seussical KIDS
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton's challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
