July 14 – 25 | Ages 8–17 | $175 (Scholarships Available!)

This summer, young performers will experience the full magic of putting on a show from start to finish! Join us at Ferndale Repertory Theatre for two weeks of creativity, collaboration, and performance as we stage a full production of Annie Kids, a 30-minute musical adaptation of the beloved classic.

  • Group A (Ages 8–12): 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Group B (Ages 13–17): 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • Final Rehearsals (both groups): July 24–25, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

  • Saturday, July 26 at 2:00 PM (arrival time 1:15 PM)

 

What to Expect:

  • Daily warm-ups, theatre games, and skill-building activities.
  • “Topic of the Day” workshops exploring costume design, scenic design, prop making, directing, and more!
  • Hands-on involvement in the creative process — onstage and behind the scenes.
  • Fun, high-energy rehearsals where students will learn music, choreography, and scenes.
  • A full production experience complete with set, costumes, props, and lights!

 

Casting Info:

  • Younger students (Group A) will play iconic kid roles like Annie and the orphans.
  • Older students (Group B) will bring adult characters to life — like Miss Hannigan, Daddy Warbucks, and Grace Farrell.
  • Auditions will take place on the first day of the workshop; all performers will be “cast” in the show. Scripts and audition materials will be sent out in May / June.

No experience necessary — just a willingness to learn, create, and have fun!
