About the Camp
This summer camp is designed for all students entering grades K through 8, regardless if they
attend TREC, and who love to perform and are interested in learning about putting on a
Broadway Kids production in one week! Students will learn the songs, dances and create
costume pieces to perform for parents in a show at the end of the week​. Each child registered
will have a part – auditions are for placement purposes only.
The $150/175 cost for the week includes: a part in the show, a t-shirt, dinner and drinks before
the show on Friday, and 2 tickets to the performance on Friday. Additional tickets may be
purchased at the door for only $5!
The money is refundable only if camp materials are returned immediately, and if at least a
week’s notice is given. Refunds will not be given if camp materials aren’t returned, if it’s too
close to camp, or if camp has already started. Refund check will be mailed.
About the shows
This year, the TRCT Summer Camp will be performing ​Annie KIDS ​for their first session and
Disney’s Sleeping Beauty KIDS ​for the second session.
Annie KIDS features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure. With equal
measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a
next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who
abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan.
Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in
billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named
Sandy.
In ​Disney’s Sleeping Beauty KIDS it's Princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday, and three fairies –
Flora, Fauna and Merryweather – must use their magic to save her from the spell of the evil
sorceress, Maleficent! The fairies ensure that Aurora only falls into a deep sleep that can be
ended with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip. To prevent Phillip from rescuing Aurora,
Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the last hope to free Phillip so that
he can awaken Aurora.
