Merrimack Summer Stage

The Merrimack Summer Stage Theater Program will be returning to the Wasserman Park Theater this summer.   

In this week long theater camp; participants will learn about scene acting, vocal work, dance and creative movement, theater games and improvisation. Participants will work together to produce a theatrical program that will be performed at the last day of the Theater Camp. When participants are not rehearsing, fun crafts and activities will be supervised by staff.  

Don’t miss out on a fun-filled week of learning and performing. It will be amazing to observe the strides the participants make in just one week. Merrimack Summer Stage is for participants between the ages of 8 – 14 years old and the program runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. Participants should bring a water bottle and lunch with them daily.  Snacks will be provided.  

Disney’s Aladdin JR. is based on the 1992 Academy  Award®-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show about the “diamond in  the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within.

The story you know and love has been given the royal treatment!  Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, are down on  their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has  the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of  the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test  his will and his moral character. With expanded characters, new songs,  and more thrills, this new adaptation of the beloved story will open up  “a whole new world” for your young performers!
