(March 22, 2019, Davis, Calif.) – Registration is now open for Davis Musical Theatre Company’s Summer Youth Workshop, July 8-19, at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center (607 Pena Drive #10) in Davis.
Students ages 7-12 and 13-17 will enjoy a comprehensive musical theater performance/education experience during the two-week camp. From 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, students will participate in vocal, acting and dance sessions, culminating in a final “performance” for friends and family on Friday, July 19 at 6 p.m. on the main stage at DMTC.
This camp is ideal for both first-time and seasoned young performers. Leading the program will be DMTC veteran and experienced youth instructor Tylar Traum, who is currently majoring in theater at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. Joining Traum will be other accomplished DMTC contributors, including Jenna Karoly and Katherine Fio, while long-time DMTC musical director David Williams will provide piano accompaniment.
Campers will need to wear comfortable clothing, and bring a water bottle, pencil, notebook and bagged lunch. Of note, on the final class/performance day July 19, campers will not be dismissed at 3:30 p.m. They will stay straight through until after the 6 p.m. performance and pizza will be provided to students for dinner.
DMTC’s Summer Youth Workshop takes place Monday through Friday, July 8-19, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., plus a performance on July 19 at 6 p.m. All classes are at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center, 607 Pena Drive in East Davis. Cost for the two-week class is just $275, which includes a T-shirt. A sibling discount is available. Spaces will fill up quickly, so advanced purchase is highly recommended. Registration can be purchased at the theater, online at dmtc.org or by calling (530) 756-3682.
Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well.
Featuring plenty of fun and splashy production numbers, including a comic "dream ballet," The Pajama Game is filled with standout featured roles and a large ensemble. This perennial favorite is a surefire crowd-pleaser and a glowing example of solid, classic musical comedy.
In a magical kingdom fathoms below, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, and convince Prince Eric that she’s the girl with the enchanting voice. Adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production, Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. features the hit songs "Part of Your World," "She’s in Love," and the Oscar-winning "Under the Sea."
