About the program

Little League Players rehearse Monday-Thursday at Cambridge Middle School from 10 am - noon for most of the rehearsal days.  The final week we will 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 year, the Little League Players will be presenting a fun retelling of the Grimms' Fairy Tell the Bremen Town Musicians.  In this musical version, you will meet the lovable characters from the original story, a Donkey named Chocolate and his friends the hound, cat and rooster as they make their way to Bremen Town to join other musicians in an unforgettable JAM session. Along the way, they'll meet a ridiculous room of rascally robbers who need to be taught a lesson. 

All Rookie participants will be part of the Bremen Town Jam 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. 

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 25th.  Participants arrive at 1pm to do a final dress rehearsal with BOTH Little League Player groups combined.  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 Peter Pan, Jr. and Pirates! The Penzance Musical 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 1st or when the program is full.
