Way Off Broadway Theatre (WOBT), the City of Prattville’s community theatre arm, announced a three-week Musical Theatre Camp production of Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr. scheduled for June 1–20, 2026, for students ages 10–17. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants; “Registration opens in March, and with only 25 spots available, early enrollment is strongly encouraged.”

The camp will be directed by Brooke Brown and assisted by Danielle Newton, with a curriculum that provides “hands-on training in vocal performance, choreography, character development, and ensemble work.” Organizers say students will sing, dance, act, and collaborate through rehearsals that culminate in a fully staged production for family and friends at the end of the three-week run.

“This camp is about more than putting on a show,” said Martha Wilkinson, Theatre Coordinator for Way Off Broadway Theatre. “It’s about building confidence, creativity, and teamwork in a joyful environment. Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr. is energetic, nostalgic, and packed with opportunities for every student to shine.” Wilkinson is listed as a contact for the program and is identified in the press materials as Theatre Coordinator.

Artistically, the production will draw on the “iconic Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series” and features familiar numbers such as “Conjunction Junction,” “Just a Bill,” and “Interplanet Janet.” WOBT’s press materials describe the summer programs as offering “professional-quality instruction in a supportive setting where students of all experience levels are welcome,” signaling the camp is open to both newcomers and students with prior stage experience.

The City of Prattville posted the announcement as a press release on February 25, 2026, under the City News, Press Releases, and WOBT categories and marked it “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.” The city promotion and social posts highlight that spots tend to fill quickly; promotional language captured from social media noted that “spots always go fast,” underscoring the small enrollment cap.

For registration and questions, the press release lists a primary contact number for the program office as 334-595-0850. The contact block in the release also lists Mynecia Steele, Cultural Arts and Special Events, at 334.595.0851 and Martha Wilkinson, Theatre Coordinator, at 334-595-0850; the City of Prattville main line appears on the site header as 334.595.0100. The press release does not include tuition or fee information, a rehearsal or performance venue address, or an exact day in March when registration will open; interested families should confirm those details by calling the numbers provided.

With registration month set as March and the camp running June 1–20, organizers and the theatre’s social promotions indicate limited capacity and a short enrollment window, making early sign-up advisable for students ages 10–17 who want to participate in the Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr. production.
