"Yellow Brick Road ~ Musicals from the Land of Oz"
We’re off to see the Wizard! Calling all campers who love to sing, dance and act! We’ll learn warm-ups, play lots of theatre and improv games, and rehearse a Musical Theatre Revue featuring acting scenes and musical numbers from “Wicked,” “The Wiz,” and, of course, the classic “The Wizard of Oz.”

We need campers to play Elphaba, Glinda, the Wizard, Dorothy, The Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Wicked Witch of the West, Flying Monkeys, Emerald City Citizens, and more!  And, our preschool campers will play Munchkins and Emerald City Citizens too!

Campers will be able to audition for small ensembles and solos in addition to participating in the large group musical numbers. Campers will be grouped by age and experience.

All levels of experience are welcome. Join Forefront Arts for a week in the Merry Old Land of Oz!

"How I Became a Pirate"
Ahoy, mateys! Based on the award-winning children’s book by Melinda Long, “How I Became A Pirate” is a tale set on the high seas of adventure! Young Jeremy Jacob is digging in the sand at North Beach when he is greeted by Captain Braid Beard and his band of friendly pirates, and is recruited to help find the perfect digging spot for their treasure. Boarding the pirate ship, Jeremy learns the ins and outs of a pirate’s life at sea, including how to talk like a pirate, how to weather a storm, and how to read a map. In return, Jeremy teaches the pirates how to brush their teeth and how to play soccer!

Pirates of all ages and levels of experience are needed to round out our pirate crew! Join Pirate Performance Camp or we might make you walk the plank!

"Frozen"
Calling all campers who love to sing, dance and act! We’ll learn warm-ups, play lots of theatre and improv games, and work on our triple-threat skills.  Campers will learn material from the hit movie and upcoming Broadway production of "Frozen" in preparation for a Friday showcase for parents. 

All levels of experience are welcome.  Come spend a week with Forefront Arts and find out what happens to snowmen "In Summer"!

CAMP REVIEWS:

"We LOVE Forefront Arts!! This is our second summer and I've been so amazed at what Miss Elizabeth and Miss Mandi (and the other teachers who've worked with the younger children) are able to accomplish with our kids in just 5 days!! My girls have been challenged (in the best of ways) and have had SO much fun!! THANK YOU, Miss Elizabeth. Thank you, Miss Mandi."  - Wendy

"My granddaughter joined Forefront Arts for the first time this summer and LOVED IT! One of the best child appropriate and enjoyable experience. The Forefront Team is kind, creative and skilled to bring out the inner-actor of any child. Highly organized, lots of fun, and responsive to children and parents. The performance of Alice in Wonderland was awesome. Thanks for such a great experience for children." - Hanna 

"I was SUPER nervous about sending my young 3 year old last year and she LOVED Forefront Arts and has been talking about her performance all year!!! I just couldnt believe the impact it has had on her." -- Nikki

"I think you do a wonderful job with the camps and the classes. The show was fantastic and very impressive considering you only had a week to pull it off!" - Jenn
