Description

Join your WONDERful Student Directors, Maya Low, Chloie Moniz & Hannah Miller, in creating a production of Alice in Wonderland Highlights, to be performed April 12. 

This multi-day intensive is lead by some of your favorite CYT instructors who will guide and empower students to create and/or perform highlights from Alice in Wonderland, the musical, that will be presented in a main stage final showcase on Saturday, April 12th! This is a great opportunity to participate in student-made productions as older singers, younger musical performers, directors and more! 

This workshop track is specifically for youth age 8-14, and will be the cast of the Alice production. We want to provide lots of opportunities like lead role, soloist, wearing a mic etc. The Artistic Team will be some of our older students, mentored by Monika Hash, Jack Wilkins, Sara Brown & Bonnie Evans. 

Tickets for the final performance will be available soon!
