- This event has passed.
Be @ the Capri for “Into the Woods JR.”
Our tremendous group of middle school scholars brings this show to life for you:
5pm Wednesday, August 7
5pm Thursday, August 8
The performances are free, but registration is required and will be open for the general public at 12noon Monday, July 22.
Directed by Dennis Spears and Nubia Monks
Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The performance is the culmination of the Capri’s free, five-week Summer Camp Capri program where scholars are immersed in arts learning, 5 days a week — singing, dancing, art-making (painting, weaving, beading, more) and, of course, play rehearsals. All of their learning is inspired by some of the best teaching artists in the biz: Directors Dennis Spears and Nubia Monks; Reynaldo Diaz, Art; Kimberly Keaton, music; Chico Perez, drumming; Diane Robinson, dance, and company manager, Jennifer Whitlock. Two former Summer Camp Capri participants, Ramiyah Jackson and Sara Jefferson, are learning and teaching as Capri Apprentices, too.
“Summer Camp Capri is one of the highlights of the year for the Capri,” said James Scott, Director of the Capri. “The middle school-age performers always bring everything they’ve got to these productions, to the total delight of our audiences. This show is simply not to be missed.”
