Disney's Alice in Wonderland JR. is a 60-minute, youth-oriented musical based on the 1951 film. It follows Alice as she falls down the rabbit hole into a whimsical, nonsensical world. Along the way, she meets iconic characters like the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, and Queen of Hearts, ultimately learning to embrace her own identity before returning home. Shows will be June 26 at 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Instructor: Nicole Blanco, CSHS Drama Teacher

SHREW’D – Remember The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare? This is an adaptation set in a high school! Think of it as Shrew meets the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (which is also based on Shakespeare’s play). The Taming of the Shrew is a Shakespearean comedy about Petruchio, a man who woos the headstrong and defiant Kat for her money—but with plenty of twists, humor, and high school drama.

This is a workshop not to miss. We encourage students interested in stretching their wings as an actor to join the cast and crew of the 2026 ECS Summer Performing Arts Workshop. Theater students will collaborate to create an interpretive theatrical production. Theater students will develop their acting methods, physicality, vocality as well as a character’s inherent mentality, all of which will create authentic and believable characters. The showcase for this July 6th-August 8th program will be the first weekend school is back in session, August 7th & 8th. This production will be one ‘not to miss’ for friends, family or any performing arts enthusiast in the community! Instructor: Andrew Cupo
