Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, We Love You!​
The famous high-flying car is ready to land on your stage and save the day in this Broadway Junior adaptation of the blockbuster musical and beloved classic film

     Take a fantastic musical adventure with an out-of-this-world car that flies through the air and sails the seas. Based on the record-breaking West End production and the beloved film, and featuring an unforgettable score by the Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. is one blockbuster that audiences will find "Truly Scrumptious."
​
The Story:

They soon discover the car is magic, and has the ability to float and take flight. When the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself, the family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly Baron and Baroness and their villainous henchman, the Child Catcher.
Filled with amazing stage spectacle and unforgettable songs, including the Academy Award nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. is a high-flying fun-filled adventure that will dazzle audiences and Broadway Junior Stars alike.

A Fun & Safe Summer

     It is almost June and we are getting closer to our Summer Camps (Pre-K Art Camp, Encore Theater Camp & Motion Intensive Dance Camp) and audition season.  So we thought it might be helpful to share some of the measures we are taking during this time.  Our goal is to provide the healthiest and safest environment possible while keeping our focus on the joy and excitement we've all come to expect from the WFA Summer Camp experience. Though we are hopeful that we will be well into Phase 2 of the states gathering recommendations, we would ask that you take time to pray and consider registering for camp this summer.  We have extended our registration (and un-enrollment without loss of tuition) this year up until June 7 for Encore Theater Camp to allow everyone more time to consider your summer plans.  We understand that some families may need a little more time to make this decision and we would like to honor your request.  From T-shirt orders, camp supplies and administration needs, there is much we have to plan and prepare for to in order to ensure Encore's success.  After June 7, our non-refundable camp fee policies will take effect so that our camp funds can be allocated accordingly.  Thank you for understanding. 
So here is a glimpse at what a Fun & Safe Summer looks like at WFA in 2020!

Select Troupe & DaCo auditions:
    Students auditioning for Select and DaCo will receive emails with specific guidelines during auditions.  These guidelines will include our procedures that include:

• Temperature checks
• Warm-up and stretching areas
• Sanitizing requests
• Health Questionnaires
• Drop-off & Pickup guides
• Audition room procedures

Our Select Troupe auditions are have been spaced out into 10 minute time intervals to ensure traffic and occupancy to be at a minimum.  Each student will be auditioning alone with only a few staff members present.  If you have further questions regarding auditions, please feel free to contact us.

Pre-K Art Camp, Encore Theater Camp & Motion Intensive Dance Camp:
     Our camps will also include similar procedures.  We are finalizing new check-in procedures, drop-off and pick-up strategies, group (size) restrictions and continuing to consider best practices for offering lunch, as we have in the past.  It is likely that we will have to make adjustments to how families may view the final performance, but as always, our live stream will be available for both Encore and Motion. Again, all those registered will receive specific instructions regarding:

• Temperature checks
• Warm-up and stretching areas
• Sanitizing requests
• Health Questionnaires
• Drop-off & Pickup guides
• Group check-in procedures
• Lunch offerings and procedures

As we approach the beginning of each camp, all participants and their families will be provided with specific instructions and details before camps begin.  We hope that this information is helpful to you at this time in making a decision to enroll in camp this year.  And as always, if you should have any questions regarding camps and auditions, we are here to help.  
On behalf of the entire WFA Staff, have a blessed day!
