Broadway Babies

The Falls Village Children's Theater "Little Kids Camp" will put on a free show Friday, July 27, at 1 PM on the great stage at Housatonic Valley Regional High School. Called "Take the Other Road," the original musical was written more than 30 years ago by high school students in New York; Noelle LaMuniere rediscovered this children's theater gem and offered it to director Lanny Mitchell. The cast features Ciara McElory as "Jesse," Hazel Law as the "Fairy Godmother," David Sanchez as "Peter Pan," Grace Cohn as "Tinker Bell," David Frishkoff as the "Little Boy," Madison Snyder as "Winky the Pooh," Julie Wynn Horowitz as the "Witch," Elijah Stone as the "White Rabbit," Jameson Kelly as the "Cheshire Cat," and Thalissa Thompson as the "Butterfly." You'll be amazed at how much this group of 5 to 9 year olds has accomplished in just two weeks of camp.

Noelle wrote in to explain a bit more about this show
"Take the Other Road," a musical, was written by high school students at the United Nations International School in 1975. Using well known characters from children's literature we follow a young girl named Jesse as she learns about herself and choices that can be both exhilarating and a bit worrying. At its core, the musical is a sweet story about the journey we all go through on the path to self acceptance.
