Th e
Dear French Woods Families
The summer calendar is taking shape
and 2017 will be a fantastic camp season. We are firming up the show list
and coming up with new ways to make
your summer even better. The staff is
coming together and we have some
fantastic people coming in this year.
Are you a nurse or do you know one? We are currently looking for camp nurses for session in all
summer sessions. Please call the office if you are
interested.
Tristan, Michael and I are so excited to get back to
camp in just a few months. We have several special
events that are coming together for the summer
including several special guests to both perform for
and work with the kids at camp.
Watch this space!
A note from Ron
In less than two months, Barbara and I will be
heading for camp. For me it is year forty-eight. So
much is going on.
We have three Broadway trips this
summer; Session one “Dear Evan
Hansen”, Session two “War Paint” and
session three “Hello, Dolly!”. If you are
interested in any of these trips, register
for them soon on your CampIn Touch
account online.
Kids registered for the summer have the option of
our periodic “London Trip”. We leave Xmas Day and
return on New Year’s. In addition to sightseeing, we
have tickets for five Westend shows, the Jack the
Ripper tour, back stage visits and Windsor Castle.
The trip is limited to fifty kids and thirty-one of the
spots are already taken. Let us know.
Isaac’s Corner
Welcome to
French Woods
Festival of the Performing Arts. Your
children are in for a remarkable
experience at a place where magic
happens, where wonderment is
the norm, and growth, learning and
fun are the goals. Many amazing
and exciting adventures await your
children at French Woods.
My name is Isaac, and I am one of the Directors of
French Woods. My job is to make sure that every
single French Woods camper gets the best possible
experience imaginable at camp. Every camper is
special and I want every camper to feel special.
I want every camper to reach beyond their grasp
and to achieve the success that comes with the
exposure to the arts and beyond. I want every
child to feel accomplished and self-assured. I want
every camper to have fun in a safe, nurturing and
supportive environment. Fun is the foundation upon
which courage, self-respect and responsibility are
built. A quality camp experience teaches respect for
others and all living things.
I want all of you to know that I am here to make sure
that all of the above happens for your children. I want
them to “get everything” that they came to French
Woods to do. By taking care of our campers “one
child at a time,” we feel we can give each camper
the individual attention he or she needs. I need your
help to start your children on their way to a successful
summer experience. Please be sure to fill out the
online Confidential Camper Questionnaire as soon
as possible and let your children know that while at
camp - no matter what they need, they should simply
speak up. They will have counselors, head counselors,
other significant adults and me. Tell them that if they
need anything at all, “they should go to Isaac.” If you,
as parents need me, I am always available to you by
phone. Please feel free to call and ask for me. Your
child’s Head Counselor will keep you informed about
your child’s activities, program and general camp
experience.
Sometimes I wonder when I will run out of steam and I am looking forward to having your children at French
Woods for many years to come. This is just the first
retire. Not yet. I’ll see you all this summer.
step in a wondrous journey of a lifetime. Your child’s
adventure begins this summer.
See you all very soon.

Aladdin (7 - 9 year olds)
Music by Alan Menken; lyrics by Howard
Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin. The
story follows the familiar tale of how a poor
young man discovers a genie in a lamp
and uses his wishes to marry the princess
that he loves and to thwart the Sultan’s evil
Grand Vizier.
Happy Feet (7 - 9 year olds)
In the great nation of the Emperor penguins,
you’re nobody if you can’t sing. That’s a real
problem for little Mumble, because not only
can’t he sing, but he dances — something
no self-respecting penguin would do.
The Aristocats (9 - 11 year olds)
Madame’s jealous butler Edgar catnaps
Duchess and her Aristokittens and abandons
them in the Parisian countryside. What’s a
cat to do? Luckily, Thomas O’Malley and
his ragtag bunch of Alley Cats come to their
rescue! This feline adventure is sure to get
your audiences tapping their feet to its hep,
jazzy beat.
How I Became a Pirate (9 - 11 year olds)
Imagine Jeremy Jacob’s surprise when he’s
accosted on the beach by a motley crew
of pirates. They need a digger to bury their
treasure and Jeremy, clutching his little sand
spade, is recruited. At first, the pirate life is
all fun: swabbing decks, counting ducats
and singing shanties. But when night falls,
Jeremy gets no bed time story and no
tucking in.
Pete’s Dragon (9 - 11 year olds)
In New England in the early 20th century,
Pete is a nine-year-old orphan escaping from
his brutal adoptive parents, the Gogans,
with his only friend, a cartoon dragon named
Elliott. Pete and Elliott find shelter with Nora,
Third Session Shows 2017!**
a lighthouse keeper, and her father, Lampie.
but Elliott is sought for medicinal purposes
by the corrupt Doctor Terminus.
The Lion King (9 - 11 year olds)

Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s

Like It Hot. Joe and Jerry, two musicians

for a saxophone and a bass player, with a
band scheduled to leave at once for Florida.
There is only one problem - the band is
made up of women.
We Will Rock You (11 - 14 year olds)
Based on the songs of Queen with a book
by Ben Elton. Elton fashioned this hilarious
futurist comedy around more than 24 of
Queen’s biggest hit songs WE WILL ROCK
YOU reflects the scale and spectacle that
marked Queen’s live performances and
earned the band its pinnacle position in rock
history.
Crazy For You (11 - 14 year olds)
When Bobby Child’s mother forces him to
foreclose on a theater he decides to put
on a play to pay the mortgage. Though the
mounting is unsuccessful, it may lay the
foundation for career success and true love.

mistaken identity, plot twists, and fabulous
dance numbers. With Classic Gershwin
tunes including I Got Rhythm, Nice Work if
You Can Get It, Embraceable You and more.
Lucky Stiff* (11 - 14 year olds)
Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and
Stephen Flaherty exploded on the musical
theatre scene in 1988 with their first offBroadway show, this zany, offbeat, and
very funny murder mystery farce. The show,
is a classic musical farce, complete with
slamming doors, mistaken identities, six
million bucks in diamonds, and a corpse in
a wheelchair.
Blood Brothers* (11 - 17 year olds)
This is a haunting musical tragedy of our
times. The tale of two twins parted at birth
and how their lives intertwined as they grow
up. This musical fulfills the prophecy that
twins separated at birth will die on the day
they discover their heritage.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels*(11 - 17 year olds)

the French Riviera. The first is the suave
and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who

out of their money. The other, a smalltime crook named Freddy Benson, more

humbly swindles women by enlistin their
compassion with fabricated stories about his
grandmother’s failing health. After meeting
on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to
work together only to find that this small
French town isn’t big enough for the two of
them. A hilarious battle of cons ensues!
Bullets Over Broadway (11 - 17 year olds)
is a musical written by Woody Allen, about
a young playwright whose first Broadway
play is financed by a gangster. The score
consists of jazz and popular standards of
the years between World War I and about
1930 by various songwriters.
Sweet Charity (11 - 17 year olds)
Taxi dancer Charity continues to have faith in
the human race despite apparently endless
disappointments at its hands, and hope that
she will finally meet the nice young man
to romance her away from her sleazy life.
Maybe, just maybe, handsome Oscar will be
the one to do it.
Scapin* (play for 11 - 17 year olds)
The crafty Scapin, servant to the household
of Geronte, jumps into the story as he
first promises to help in the affairs of his
neighbor’s son, Octave, then to aid in those

Both young men have fallen in love with
unlikely, and penniless, beauties, and both
need money to help solve their dilemmas.
