Evergreen Players

Ages 8-11 

Play: Dr. Seuss's - The Lorax

This two-week intensive will be directed by Lucy Hamilton, who is celebrating her sixth year directing shows for the Evergreen Players! In this dramatic adaptation, students will explore the tale of the small, mustachioed Lorax, who "speaks for the trees" and all the creatures that depend on them.

Campers will examine the decisions made and the warnings ignored, learning that even the most difficult problems can be reversed by understanding the past and taking action in the present. Through acting, movement, and expressive storytelling, students will uncover the message of hope that lies in this classic story. 

Throughout this two-week camp, students will:

• Learn, memorize, and rehearse dramatic scenes featuring acting expressive storytelling.
• Build confidence through group work and the development of distinct, memorable characters.
• Explore essential themes of the importance of speaking up.
• Strengthen stage presence, projection, and collaborative teamwork.

By the end of camp, our campers will perform a thought-provoking and energetic performance that celebrates the original text and reminds us all, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
