The Academy Is Different Than Camp (For Grades 3 & up)

The Wolf Theatre Academy’s summer experience should not be con-fused with a typical camp experience, which focuses on constantactivity and stimulation. At the youngest ages (grades PreK–2), ourclasses are similar to those in camps, where programs are conductedas structured play.However, at the older ages (grades 3 and up), we area serious training academy where the focus of our program is qualityperformance. While students are supervised at all times during acad-emy hours, all students in performance or production workshops willbe expected to work on their own at home and when not directlyworking with faculty. Also, students with leading roles will be asked tospend significant time studying at home. We encourage parents whoare looking for a more recreational camp experience to take this intoconsideration when making their summer choices.

Mainstage Production SessionsSummer 2011 Mainstage Productions

• Urinetown• The Music Man• Romeo & Juliet

Patrons of our program should note that again this year our mainstageproductions rehearse in one session and perform in the next session.This is to accommodate those students whose schools let out duringthe first few weeks in June. This year all three productions begin thethird week of a session and perform in week two of the following ses-sion. This might be an issue if parents are trying tomatch schedules forother three week programs. Check dates carefully and please feel free tocall our staff for assistance if you have any questions.

Grade LevelsAll grade levels refer to the grade students will be entering in the fall of2011. Students in grades 3 and 6 generally have two options. They mayparticipate with younger students, which gives them greater responsi-bility and the possibility of larger roles in Dramatics PerformanceWorkshops, or they can choose to work with older students and facethe challenge of more mature work. Students at the younger end of thegrade requirements should expect smaller roles in productions andworkshops (see also Day One Auditions and Casting below).

Wolf Theatre Academy • Summer 2011Grades PreK–12

At the Wolf Theatre Academy, we set the HIGHEST STANDARDS for our faculty and students. Our students work with

THEATRICAL PROFESSIONALS who are experienced in the art of theatre EDUCATION. At the younger ages, we

emphasize a POSITIVE, nurturing style of teaching, and our students grow through ENCOURAGEMENT in an environment

that supports their development as individuals and as artists. Although our teaching focus shifts for older groups to

QUALITY PERFORMANCE, we are proud that most students complete our programs with a sense of incredible accom-

plishment for a job well done. AGE-APPROPRIATE programming allows younger children to focus on FUN, creation and

fantasy, while older students learn the SKILLS that will enable them to approach both CLASSICAL and CONTEMPORARY

material with ease. ONE & THREE-WEEK HALF-DAY workshops include performance classes, technical apprenticeships

and audition techniques, in addition to FULL-DAY production and dramatics performance workshops. Now sit back as we

raise the curtain on another summer of THEATRICAL MAGIC at the Wolf Theatre Academy!

In aGotham-like city,a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to agovernment-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must usepublic amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that prof-its by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs.Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolu-tion to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of BertoltBrecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satirein which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating thevery notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the“comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous per-spective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce galesof unbridled laughter. This fully mounted musical productionincludes a brilliant script and rousing songs that include: “RunFreedom Run,”“I See A River,”“Urinetown,”“FollowYour Heart” and“Privilege To Pee.”

** Parents should note that Urinetown contains mature content(PG-13) and should familiarize themselves with the story beforesigning their children up for this production. A detailed plot syn-opsis can be found at wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinetown orwww.mtishows.com (search for Urinetown).
