7th Street Kids’ 20th Anniversary Show – The Wizard of Oz
The above photo is from the Kids first performance in 1992 -- the Wizard of Oz Auditions Auditions for The Wizard of Oz will be held at the theater on Saturday, June 4 at 9 AM. Kids who will be 7 - 16 years old on June 15 are invited to audition. All who audition must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No previous experience or preparation is necessary. Those who audition will be taught a short song and dance which they will perform for the directors and producer. Fifty Kids will be chose for the production. Tuition is $150. Our policy is that the Kids must be able to attend all rehearsals and performances to participate in the 6-week program. Scholarships are available.
Rehearsals Rehearsals begin on Wednesday, June 23 and will run Mondays through Fridays from 9 AM until 1 PM. Tuition for the summer production workshop will be announced soon. Scholarships are available thanks to another generous grant from the Bishop Foundation. Staff 7th Street Kids encourages former Kids to expand their leadership capabilities and return to the program to share their knowledge and to mentor current Kids. 7th Street Kids is excited to welcome Cori DeVerse, Drama Director, and Brandon Walker, Technical Director, in their new positions this summer and to welcome back Music Director Alex Eddy and Choreographer Lindy Parker. All are former 7th Street Kids. Brad Duffy, Theater Instructor at Grays Harbor College, will continue in his role as the 7th Street Kids Producer and Advisor. Parents and other volunteers are critical to the success of the musical each summer. They help build and paint sets, supervise dressing rooms, sew costumes, clean the theater, and do many of the other jobs that are necessary to produce an exciting show. The Kids, the staff, and the 7th Street Kids Board of Directors are all grateful for their help and contributions. Mini-Camps This summer, 7th Street Kids will be offering three theater mini-camps.

. . . . . . Who are the 7th Street Kids?
7th Street Kids is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation and is governed by a 20-member Board of Directors, who meet the fourth Monday of each month. The Board hires the Producer and Directors to oversee the summer workshop program and work with the Kids. Annual financial support comes from tuition, contributions, and ticket sales. Major support has also been received from the E.K. & Lillian F. Bishop Foundation and the Oakmead Foundation. 7th Street Kids organize a six-week summer program for kids who are 7 through 16 years by June 15 who want to experience the fun of musical theatre. The highlight is the performance of a major musical theatre work. Under the guidance of outstanding directors, each Kid participates in auditions and rehearsals, helps back stage, even constructing sets, and then sings and dances in the show. Micki Colwell started 7th Street Kids iin 1992. Her dream was a musical theater program for kids in the wonderful old 7th St Theatre - a place where she had often seen live theater performed. Over the years this program has touched more than 600 children. In turn, these 7th Street Kids have brought the joy of live musical theater to hundreds more, and many of them are still entertaining us on our high school, Grays Harbor College, and Driftwood stages. . . . . . . Volunteers Needed Behind the scenes, parents, board members, "Kid" alumni, and community members volunteer countless hours working on such projects as set construction, sound crew, lighting crew, stage crew, supervision, theatre operation, promotion and ticket sales. If you would like more information about the summer workshop program, or would like to join the 7th Street Kids cast of supporters and/or volunteers, contact Mary Nelson @ (360) 249-8401.
