Mad Dog McNut and his gang are running wild and Wilbur Hubbard, cowardly cook at the Fordoor Saloon, lands the job no-one wants - Sheriff of Splodge. But luckily for Wilbur, Billie-Jo Brisket and her faithful steed Lightning roll into town to lend a hand, and suddenly the race is on to save the town.Ye-Haw! is a rootin- tootin tale of crazy cowboys, barmy baddies, masked heroes and hidden gold!Over the course of two weeks of morning classes, we will work on auditioning, acting, singing and dancing--culminating with a performance! The first week of class will focus on terminology, technique, auditioning, acting, character work, blocking, memorization, choreography and becoming familiar with the music. The second week will focus on singing and rehearsing to put the show together. *Students are required to attend both weeks in order to perform in the musical.Students will help with costumes, props and set creation.Parents and families are invited to attend a performance on the final day of class!We hope you will be a part of our 5th Annual NWTA musical acting camp!
