Summer Children's Drama Camp - "Peter and Wendy"

This year, the Westmoreland Players will host a Missoula Children’s Theatre summer camp to help children improve their self-image, boost self-esteem, work as a team, and enhance their confidence and ability to act before an audience (and have fun!). The camp is limited to 60 students, from Rising 1st Grade to 12th Grade.

No advance preparation is necessary for auditions. Assistant Directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities.

Peter and Wendy

Conceived and Written by Michael McGill

Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

Summary: When Captain Hook sends his right-hand man, Smee, on a quest to capture Peter Pan, it’s seemingly business as usual…at first. Little does Hook realize what fantastic adventures await him and his pirate posse in their search for the elusive Peter Pan. Mistaken identities, ever-morphing clouds, a classy crocodile, some very lost boys, and a fickle shadow all add to the mayhem. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Darling embark on a quest of their own and find themselves trekking everywhere from Hawaii to the North Pole in search of their three missing children. With help from the earth-friendly Neverlanders, exotic Neverland creatures, and faithful Tinker Bell, the Darling children are found, disputes are ultimately resolved, and everyone – including Captain Hook – finds a place where they truly belong.

The Westmoreland Players contracts with Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT)

(www.mctinc.org) to conduct the camp to help children improve their self-image, boost selfesteem,

work as a team and enhance their confidence and ability to act before an audience (and

have fun!). Camp is limited to 50-60 students, from Rising 1st Grade to 12th Grade.

Schedule: Actors will report to the theatre at 9:00 a.m. Monday, June 25, 2018. Rehearsal schedule

for the week will be distributed. Generally, children in the youngest group will be released around

11:30 a.m. each day. Older kids between 1 and 2 p.m. TIMES OF RELEASE ARE FLEXIBLE

BASED ON REHEARSAL NEEDS. Saturday is SHOW TIME and actors will be called after lunch

for dress rehearsal and two performances of Peter and Wendy and will stay in the theatre until about 8

2. Wear sneakers — no sandals, flip-flops or street shoes allowed on stage.
