Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do with your friends and family this summer?

Rainbow Youth Theatre is offering two productions that are sure to delight.

Dance Princess Dance is an original play written by the trio of Pippa Ingram, Peter Woodhall and Claudia Woodhall.

Peter, the director for this show, is the talented Comox Valley director who also brought to life The Boyfriend, Robin Hood and the Merry Marys, Snow White at the Sid, and most recently Cleopatra in De Nile.

Dance Princess Dance is a family musical set in medieval times. It starts in a castle where a mysterious malady befalls the five dancing daughters of the beloved king.

Everyone in the castle rallies to find the cause. Perseverance and bravery save the day. Meet a wicked aunt and  her slithery entourage, a wise monk, three funny nobles from Valencia and a young hero. There are lots of parts for young to mature.

The second production will feature some of the younger actors in the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland Jr.

“Join Alice's madcap adventures in Wonderland as she chases the White Rabbit, races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with the Tweedles, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar, and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game! Roles are plentiful, including three Cheshire Cats and dozens of other wonderfully wacky characters.” — MTI international

Aside from a talented cast, RYT is also looking for passionate production members and volunteers to assist in presenting these family-focused shows.

Are you interested in directing Alice in Wonderland? Maybe you want to stage manage or plan the choreography?
