About the program

Little League Players is open to students who have completed 2nd grade up through 4th grade, who will be at least age 8 (or turning 8 by Sept. 1, 2025). We rehearse during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of June at Cambridge Middle School from 1:00-4:00. This program is designed to introduce students to theatre, help develop performing skills for returning students, and cultivate a foundation for being on stage that the students can carry into the middle school program. We rely heavily on theatre games and play in this program, all the while rehearsing a short youth musical.

This year, the Little League Players will be bringing the animals of the wetlands to life with the musical Swamped. You might think that everything in a swamp is fairly static. Fish swim, snakes slither around, frogs jump, turtles crawl. But in truth, all kinds of things are happening and changing everyday, much the same as in the rest of life. This little musical is about handling change in your life, being tolerant and encouraging, and facing the future with courage and joy. You won’t want to miss out on it.

There are no formal auditions in this group, but parts are determined by student interest and confidence shown in the early days of the program.

Performance/Share Day

The students in Little League Players will showcase their hard work at our performance on the final day of the program, June 26th. Participants arrive at the regular 1pm time to do a final dress rehearsal, followed by some games and activities to get their nervous jitters out! We welcome family and friends to watch the performance at 3pm in the Cafetorium at Cambridge Middle School. There is no cost to attend, but we gladly accept free will donations. After the Little League Player portion of the event, the audience will get a “sneak peek” at the work being done for both of the other programs the older students are working on, with a staged number from Finding Nemo, Jr. and Guys and Dolls each being shared. The performance concludes with the Little League Players returning to the stage one final time to close their season with the song “I Sing the Body Electric.” This song is one that concludes ALL Summer Youth Theatre productions.

Registration closes on May 2nd or when the program is full.

About the program

Little League Players is open to students who have completed kindergarten through 1st grade, who will be at least age 6 (or turning 6 by Sept. 1, 2025). We rehearse the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of June at Cambridge Middle School from 10 am - noon for most of the rehearsal days. The final week we will likely shift the time to afternoons, to pull the entire program together. This program is designed to introduce students to theatre, help develop performing skills for returning students, and cultivate a foundation for being on stage that the students can carry into the middle school program. We rely heavily on theatre games and play in this program, all the while rehearsing a short youth production.

All Rookie participants will be part of the Swamped! chorus, singing and dancing to all the songs. This group will also be showcasing a reader’s theatre telling of a related children’s book (yet to be determined!) Every Rookie participant will have a speaking role in this portion. There are no formal auditions in this group, but parts are determined by student interest and confidence shown in the early days of the program.

We welcome family and friends to watch the performance at 3pm in the Cafetorium at Cambridge Middle School. There is no cost to attend, but we gladly accept free will donations.
