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, 2023). We rehearse Monday-Thursday 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 heading into medieval times with the show, Joust! Imagine a world where all weapons were replaced by musical instruments! Welcome to the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table like you’ve never seen it or heard it before. On guard! This 30-minute medieval marvel, complete with jousting knights, delightful damsels and court jesters, will capture the interest of actors and audiences alike! All participants will have the opportunity for speaking parts and features, as well as being an important part of the group chorus. 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 29th. 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 Aladdin, Jr. and The Little Mermaid 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 5th 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, 2023). We rehearse Monday-Thursday 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.

This 30-minute medieval marvel, complete with jousting knights, delightful damsels and court jesters, will capture the interest of actors and audiences alike! All Rookie participants will be part of the Joust! chorus, singing and dancing to all the songs. This group will also be showcasing a reader’s theatre telling of a castle 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.
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 29th.

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 Aladdin, Jr. and The Little Mermaid each being shared.
