🌟 Once upon a time… in Blue Earth! 🌟

Our young actors brought the magic of Hansel & Gretel to life during Storybook Theatre’s summer children’s theatre camp! 🎭

Under the direction of Storybook Theatre directors, Victoria and Matthew, our energetic actors spent the week learning lines, rehearsing scenes, building confidence, and getting ready for their big performance on the final day. And what a way to wrap up a week of theatre magic!

While they were in town, Victoria and Matthew also made sure to pay a visit to a local legend—the Green Giant! 💚 We’re glad they found time for a little sightseeing before heading off to their next adventure!

A huge thank-you to Victoria, Matthew, and all of our young performers for making this summer’s production one to remember! 🎭
