Hamilton-Gibson’s Winter Theatre Arts Camps are for third through ninth graders who reside in the Southern Tioga School District, Wellsboro School District, Troy and Galeton School Districts and attend public or private schools or who are home-schooled.

Offered free due to the sponsorship of UPMC, the camp will be held at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA beginning Wednesday, February 1417 and continuing on selected dates through Thursday, Feb. 29 with Pay-What-You-Can performances for the public at 7:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2.

Campers will present the musical “Junie B. Jones JR,” a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books created specifically for Broadway Junior performers.“Junie B. Jones JR” features many lovable characters and fun-filled songs. This musical will capture the audience’s and performer’s hearts just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.

Join Junie B. on her first day of first grade, where many changes are in store. Junie’s best friend Lucille has found new best friends and Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting. 

Each camper will receive a free tee shirt, script, rehearsal CD/thumb drive and instruction.

The campers will be taught choreography, how to project their voices when speaking and singing and how to create a character – all while having fun. Particular roles will be assigned at the first meeting on February 14.

Registration forms for the camp are available at online at the HG website, hamiltongibson.org or can be obtained by calling the HG office at 570-724-2079 or emailing hamgib@gmail.com.
