Take the Stage gets Groovy!

This summer, Take the Stage summer theatre camp presents Groovy! Here is a little bit about the show:

In Groovy! you'll celebrate the hippies and flower children of the 1960s. Travis, Muriel and Alice decide to throw a free Music, Beads and Flowers Celebration. A popular singing group, the Lemon Bugs, love the idea and donate their talent. In no time, crazily-painted busses start arriving at Crumb's Apple Farm, the site of the festival. Everything is going nicely until Mrs. Porter, who hates "The Love Generation," shows up and demands that the local police close it down. If this wasn't bad enough, two music promoters offer the Lemon Bugs a deal they can't refuse if they will skip the celebration. You will love the wildly funny characters like California Cowabunga, who can surf on dry land, Hippie Girl With Flute, who thinks she's the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and a London fashion designer who plans to release a line of Flower Power clothing. Although the hippies might wear buttons that say "Never Trust Anyone Over Thirty," their hearts are in the right place and the celebration triumphs. Great '60s style songs include: "Anything is Possible," "Lemon Bugs in a Lemon Air-o-plane," "Brothers and Sisters" and naturally, "Groovy!" It's fact! It's funky! And it's groovy, all right. In fact, it's the best celebration in town.

Take the Stage summer theatre camp will run from June 28-July 24 in Uxbridge, MA, with performances of Groovy! on July 23 and 24.

Welcome to Take the Stage!

Every summer we hold a four-week long camp in which students are taught the basics of theatre, dance, stage movement and voice. At the end of the camp session, students put on a full length musical in which their newly developed skills are showcased. The camp focuses on teaching students to go beyond self-expectations and bringing them to a higher level of performance. This year Take the Stage summer camp will take place from June 28^th-July 24^th with performances on July 23^rd and 24^th.

This year, Take the Stage is adding an exciting new element of theatre classes including Musical Theatre, Improvisation, Sketch Comedy Writing and Performance, Acting for Film, Shakespeare, Auditioning in the Theatre and private theatre coaching. The classes will run throughout the summer and into the fall. These classes are for middle and high school students are all available as private lessons.

This program is great opportunity for students to grow as performers and gain confidence both on the stage as well as in everyday life.
