Summer Stage offers exciting acting, singing, and dancing programs for youth entering second grade through age 25. Eighth graders and above may also take advantage of the behind-the-scenes programs, Technical Theatre, and Video Film Production.

The Open House begins with a short performance previewing production numbers from this year’s Children’s Musical Theatre Season including: The  Wizard of Oz, Once On This Island, Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and Broadway for Kids. The performance will also feature a glimpse of the summer’s Dance Explosion, where students ages 11 and up recreate Broadway classics and produce their own masterpieces.

Members of the Summer Stage 2010 staff will be available to answer questions about all nine Summer Stage camps, which progress in a fun way to help build skills and confidence among each age group.

The youngest campers, entering second and third grade, participate in Kid’s Stuff. This morning program provides a great introduction for those curious about theatre. Next, the program progresses to Apprentice, where mornings fly by for fourth and fifth graders as they learn the basics of stage performance in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. Both Kid’s Stuff and Apprentice culminate with a musical revue. Children that can’t get enough of these programs can stay for the afternoon through Storytelling Through the Arts, where campers enter the world of storytelling through ensemble play, crafts, and music.

In the next level, Children’s Theater, sixth through twelfth graders enjoy days filled with rehearsals and classes preparing for fully staged productions or participating in Technical Theater and Video Film camps. These experiences prepare participants for Mainstage, an evening program where ninth graders and above present a major Broadway musical. This year’s musical will be The Music Man. Finally, there is the Intern Touring Company, where a small group of young adults receive the opportunity to assist in staging, performing, and touring with an hour-long show to area parks, hospitals, and other venues.

Written by Groucho’s son, Arthur Marx, with Robert Fisher, the

award winning Groucho: A Life in Revue captures the

comic genius and wildness of the Marx Brothers on their

journey from Vaudeville, to Broadway, to Hollywood,

to Television.

“Hilarious” – (The New York Post) “A musical mirth-quake

and bittersweet rags-to-riches story, as seen through

Groucho’s sardonic, nostalgic, kaleidoscope eyes —

complete with painted brows and wire framed

spectacles. Audiences and critics have stood and cheered

for the stage sensation, with a horn honking, piano key

shooting score that features nine of their most famous

musical numbers, now forever immortalized through a

performance that has been deemed as “nothing short of

mesmerizing.”

“Artful… laughter in abundance” – (New York Times)

Starring The Collaborative Act Studio’s Founder/Producing

Artistic Director, Ted Wioncek III as the legendary

Groucho Marx, along with Brian Walsh (Chico), Shawn

O’Brien (Harpo), Christine Peltz and Samantha Morrone.

Wioncek, Walsh and Peltz are no strangers to their Marxian

counterparts. First in Stage’s production of  A Day In

Hollywood/A Night In Ukraine, and The Cocoanuts at

The Broadway Theatre of Pitman, they’ve wreaked

comedic havoc on stage and in the audience night after

night.

“Forget the fact that Wioncek wasn’t even alive at the

same time Marx was – his connection to the famed master

of wit is genuine” – Nicole Pensiero, (Courier-Post)

“Wioncek and Walsh are as good as the real thing… if

you ask me, they’re better” – Barbara L. Galda, (Theatre

Patron & Season Subscriber)

Now, they’re at it again… bringing you a whole other side

of the original mad men of mirth. Whether you prefer

Animal Crackers or Horse Feathers in your Duck Soup;

You Bet Your Life that you won’t want to miss Groucho:

A Life In Revue.  For more information simply contact

info@mainstage.org or 856-227-3091… and when you

do… tell ‘em “Groucho sent me!”
