CTP ANNUAL WINTER VACATION THEATRE CAMP!

The Community Players of Concord, NH

CHILDREN’S THEATRE PROJECT

is pleased to offer our annual WINTER VACATION THEATRE CAMP

Book, Music, and Lyrics by Austin Zumbro

Director: Karen Braz

Music Director: Geraldine Veroneau

Choreographer:  Caleb Anderson 

Adapted from the international bestseller and award-winning book,The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister (translated into English by J. Alison James), with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging, The Rainbow Fish Musical features a variety of charming school and sea-creature characters who admire the famous Rainbow Fish, the most beautiful fish in all the ocean.  When Rainbow Fish refuses to share its vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature, leading the young fish to seek out the wise Octopus.  Octopus helps Rainbow Fish learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

 
Featuring a bubbly, energetic score and a script that invites wonderful creativity and flexibility, the universal message at the heart of this one-of-a-kind musical becomes much more than just a simple children’s story.
