A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Welcome to our exciting Summer 2023 Programs Guide!

With spring just around the corner, we are looking forward with enthusiasm to all things SUMMER. The season always brings with it my favorite activities: being outside in the sunshine, swimming, and traveling. It’s also a great time to learn something new or focus on a passion. We want LCDS to be your go-to for summer fun and learning!

This guide to summer at LCDS includes more programming than ever before, and we have offerings for all ages from preschool through 12th grade. “Camp LCDS” has expanded to include students entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. We are excited to launch a collaboration with Popovsky Performing Arts Studio to bring you summer theater performance camps from students entering 1st through 12th grade! Our popular “Courses for Credit” continue this summer and of course we will transform LCDS into Hogwarts (potions, wands, wizards, and magical creatures included!), there’s bound to be a match for your student.

Please peruse and get planning! We’re looking forward to having you at LCDS. Sincerely,

Heather Woodbridge Director of Auxiliary Programs email

ABOUT THIS CAMP: Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure?

He doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

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.

ABOUT THIS CAMP: Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this enthralling fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. *continued on next page 32 Lancaster Country Day School

In this specially created Youth Edition, all the beloved songs and familiar characters are present and accounted for. However, the entire script has been condensed to better suit young attention spans, and the plot has been slightly altered to highlight some important lessons for contemporary audiences.

ABOUT THIS CAMP: The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage. The power of optimism really can save the world!

ABOUT THIS CAMP: ABOUT THIS CAMP: It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.

34 Lancaster Country Day School

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this middle school adaptation of MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight casts and audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
