A Note from Miss Robyn…

I have always been in love with musical theatre and often imagined a place to share that joy with young, growing musicians. The day is here. The Jungle Book Kids is the very first musical production for Intervals Music Studio. I didn't know if it would happen for us on the heels of the pandemic, but here we are. I know it will not be our last!

I feel so very honoured to work with an absolutely stellar teaching team. I am always in awe of not only their talent, but also the graciousness with which they meet the students each week. Our Triple Threat Troop instructors really care and have a way of bringing out the best in each child from week to week. They are the magic behind the scenes.

Then there are these amazing students--wow. For a very large portion of them, this is their first musical ever. Many of these students I knew as "littles" in

Kindermusik, so getting to see their growth makes me want to burst with pride.

Crew, you are all shining stars and I wish you the best of luck in our shows.

You've got this!

I'm so grateful to RMFP for their corporate sponsorship of our very first show!

It's through people like you, who believe in the value of exposing the next generation to the arts that we are able to continue to thrive and grow. Thank you!

Lots of love,

"Miss Robyn"

Production Crew

Welcome to the show! We are so excited and proud to present The Jungle Books: Kids and for you to see all the hard work our cast has put in over the past six months! The

four of us have been friends for our whole lives and have aspired to work on something

like this together since we were small. We have performed together in musicals, cheered each other on in music festivals, and have dreamed about inspiring the newest

generation of performers! Now that this dream has come true, we are more than excited to share this show with you. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids, and they’ve given us 100% at every rehearsal. They have truly made this the most fun experience! The past couple of years have not been easy, but seeing the kids come

together to help bring this show to life has been a beacon of light. Throughout Zoom

rehearsals, lockdowns, and illness, we have always made it through together and in the best of spirits. Despite these challenges, this group of kids has shown perseverance and

always brought positive energy to the room. We are so happy with how the show turned

out and are so proud of everyone involved. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the performance by this year’s Triple Threat Troop!

About Our Program The Triple Threat Troop gives aspiring performers a place to hone their skills in a nurturing and

welcoming environment. In each class, students

experience the magic of theatre through work in singing, choreography, and acting, while diving

deeper into each component – incorporating theatre games, musical skills, and dance terminology into

each class. Students will work together as a team to

produce high-energy performances, all while building confidence and making lasting

friendships. This program is designed to foster a lifelong love and appreciation of music and theatre, as well as building skills that will help students throughout their musical journey.

Whether you are brand-new to the world of musical theatre, or you have been dancing and singing since you could walk and talk, there is a place for you in our program. We

strive to meet everyone at their skill level, and provide opportunities for student growth and enjoyment no matter their age or background.

Stay tuned for some exciting new additions to our program for the 2022-2023 year!

Synopsis

Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, a human boy named Mowgli and his panther friend,

Bagheera, are on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle. On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin' musical

rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle.
