Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, and those scheming, scene-stealing penguins as they escape the comforts of New York’s Central Park Zoo and embark on a hilarious, high-energy journey to the vibrant island of Madagascar—home of the unforgettable King Julien. Packed with colorful characters, big laughs, and an upbeat score that will have everyone shouting “Move It, Move It!”, this fun-filled musical adventure offers students an exciting opportunity to sing, dance, act, and work as an ensemble while creating a show audiences of all ages will love!
Session II: Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach
This summer, performers ages 8–16 will dive into the wildly imaginative world of James and the Giant Peach JR. Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved tale, this playful musical follows James and his larger-than-life insect friends as they embark on an unforgettable journey across the ocean inside a giant peach. Along the way, the group faces danger, disagreements, and daring adventures—learning how teamwork, creativity, and courage can turn strangers into family. Filled with outlandish characters, bold storytelling, and endless opportunities for young actors to shine, this offbeat production invites students to sing, dance, and act their way through a theatrical adventure as big as their imaginations.
Designed for young people ages 8–16, this exciting three-week summer musical theatre program gives students the chance to be part of a full show from start to finish. From auditions to opening night, young performers will work together as a team to learn songs, choreography, blocking, and character choices—just like professional actors do! Along the way, they’ll discover what goes into putting on a musical, including rehearsals, collaboration, and working both onstage and behind the scenes.
Hedgerow is a fun and supportive place where students can make new friends, grow more confident, and let their creativity shine. Whether it’s your child’s very first show or their next big role, this program offers an unforgettable theatre adventure that ends with a fully staged musical production for family and friends!
