Playtime Poppy Children's Theatre’s Summer Theatre Adventure is a free week-long immersive theatre experience for ages 9-14 to engage with theatre, culture, and community. The circus themed show this year is “Rascals Under the Big Top Or... The Ring’s Around Miss Rosie” by Robert Swift.
A cast of students age 9-14 will be selected at our auditions on June 1, from 1pm-3pm at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy—2630 B Ave NE., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402. The cast will work together 9am-noon, June 23–27 to bring this fun story to life (please note that it is important that all cast members are available to attend every rehearsal).
Show overview:
Thanks to an unscrupulous villain and his partner’s dastardly plan, the Pampermouse Circus is stranded, minus many of its star attractions. Our villain wants to marry the granddaughter of the circus owner and become owner of the circus. However, another circus performer is in love with the granddaughter, and wants to help save the circus. Will a sensational new act save the struggling big top or will it be curtains for the greatest little show in town?
The public is invited to the free performance of “Rascals Under the Big Top, Or...The Ring’s Around Miss Rosie” on June 27 at 7pm. The camp and performance will also be held at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy—2630 B Ave NE
This show is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Co.
