Camp Seminole presents The Forgotten Samurai- Friday 08/14
August 14th 2020 4:30PM 
Seminole Theatre

 

 

This year we hosted a smaller more intimate cycle theatre style summer camp. Cycle plays have been around for hundreds of years, and involve performers keeping their distance in separate rooms to tell the same story together in sequences. 

For the first time ever we are excited to bring you a cycle theatre performance! Our play will be divided into three sections and the audience will travel from space to space. They will be fully immersed in the world the campers have created.  There will only be 8 patrons at a time allowed in the performance space. All patrons must wear masks and are required to have their temperature taken on the way into the building. This will be a standing room performance so we ask that if you need special assistance you give us a call ahead of time so we can accommodate your visit.  

The Forgotten Samurai: A Retelling of a Classic Buddhist Parable follows Hitoshi Daichi – a once rich and powerful Samurai who has been forced to live the life of a poor Ronin by the actions of The Fire Lord,Shobo-Shi. We walk alongside Hitoshi as he sets off on a journey to find hispath to happiness. With the help of a young apprentice, he works to battlemonsters, confront the fierce Onno Bugeisha, and challenge the Shogun who has caused his pain.

Disney’s Aladdin JR. is based on the 1992 Academy Award®-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show about the “diamond in the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within.

The story you know and love has been given the royal treatment! Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his moral character. 

In the Junior Players production, students will have the opportunity to take on one of the famous roles in the Aladdin Jr. The students will rehearse every Saturday with our theatre professionals, learning acting, singing, choreography and stagecraft, and then perform the full show to the public on the Seminole Theatre mainstage.
