The production features all of the songs from the animated film, with music and lyrics by the creators of the film score, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT-winner Robert Lopez. You’ll love this fanciful and heartwarming stage adaptation of the celebrated animated film. Join Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Sven, and all of your favorite characters as they embark on an epic, ice-filled journey of self-discovery, camaraderie, and the real meaning of true love. Adapted for young performers, this musical includes favorite *Frozen* songs such as “Love Is an Open Door,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” and “Let It Go,” as well as wonderful new songs from the Broadway production. This production of *Frozen KIDS* is sure to prove that “some people are worth melting for.” https://thewrp.org/product/disney-s-frozen-kids-summer-camp-june-29-july-10… *SHAKESPEARE’S GOT TALENT* *By Lavinia Roberts* *Ages: 13+* *Camp Runs: June 29-July 10, 2020 from 1:00 - 3:00pm* *Performances: July 10-12, 2020 @ 8PM and 4PM (Sunday Show)* *Directed by Jacob Bremkamp* *Fee $150.00 / Limit 20 Campers* *All Performance Tickets $10.00 (2 and under free)* Have fun with some of Shakespeare’s most famous characters in this comical one act TV talent show parody! Our host, Puck, the mischievous fairy from *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*, is joined by the Fool, a classic Shakespearean side character, who adds wit and fun with his not-so-foolish interjections. Romeo, King Duncan, and Portia create an eclectic panel of judges for a collage of skits featuring other characters from the Bard’s greatest hits, including Hamlet, King Lear’s three daughters, Desdemona, the witches, and more! Of course, the talent portion of the TV show soon takes side stage to hilarious high drama behind the scenes, especially with Macbeth as the stage manager and Macduff as sound engineer. There’s all the trademark Shakespeare tragedy — plots against kings, pining for love, witch’s predictions of forlorn fates — but with comedic twists including pillow fights, rubber chicken duels, and a disco dance finale where the judges decide to award themselves the winners. With minimal sets and props, *Shakespeare’s Got Talent!* introduces students to another side of many of Shakespeare’s most famous characters and plays in a manner that’s quite silly, highly entertaining, and easily relatable. https://thewrp.org/product/shakespeares-got-talent-kids-summer-camp-june-29… Questions?
