Dreamcatcher Junior presents Hippopotamus Sandwich, a musical revue for young audiences and their grown-ups

Legends and Lore campfireEver sit around a campfire listening to a great story? That’s how you’ll feel at this year’s Dreamcatcher Junior production—Legends & Lore: A Journey Around the World. The Summer Theatre Conservatory kids have gathered folktales from countries all over the world and put them into this fantastic new show. As always, the cast collaborates with the instructors (this year’s directors are Jessica O’Hara-Baker and Rose Pedone) to create an original show with song and dance. In doing so they learn how to be a successful and cooperative ensemble while experiencing the joy of putting on a show.
