Little Players' mission is to foster an appreciation of community theater and encourage self-development through the dramatic arts as students learn the skills and technical aspects of theater. Little Players performs one full-length production each summer and offers educational workshops throughout the year. (Financial assistance is available for Little Players' workshops upon request.) 
Step into a world of rhymes, whimsy, and wonder at Camp Seuss-on-Stage! This one-of-a-kind summer drama camp brings the imaginative universe of Dr. Seuss to life through acting, storytelling, and creative play. Campers going into grades 3–5 in the fall will explore favorite Seussian characters, from Horton the Elephant to the Sneeches, while learning the basics of theater—movement, voice, improvisation, and scene work.
Throughout the week, campers will collaborate to create their own wacky, whimsical performance inspired by Dr. Seuss’s stories and style. With colorful costumes, playful props, and lots of laughter, each day will be filled with fun, creativity, and self-expression. At the end of camp, families are invited to a special showcase where our young performers will share their Seuss-tacular show!
No prior theater experience needed—just bring your imagination and a love for silly stories!
Space is limited to 25 students.
Fee: $15 each

Little Players Children's Theatre will hold auditions for "Mr. Toad's Mad Adventures" on Sunday, June 1, 2025, 5-7 p.m. at the Grand Opera House. There are 29 speaking parts for 3rd - 6th grade students in the fall of 2025. Directed by Hannah Carda.
Toad of Toad Hall is an eccentric but likable chap given to "crazes." His latest craze involves motorcars. Unfortunately, he smashes them up as fast as he gets them. He even steals one for a wild ride over the countryside. Naturally, this gets him into a great deal of trouble. His dear friends Badger, Rat and Mole do their best to help, but their efforts aren’t enough, and Toad ends up in prison... after an uproarious courtroom scene. His imprisonment couldn’t please his enemies, the weasels, more. They quickly take over Toad Hall and trash the place. Meanwhile, the jailer’s daughter, Polly, thinks Toad is an exceptional fellow and helps him escape dressed as a washerwoman! On his way back home, he has a wild adventure with a barge owner who is horrified to discover the washerwoman is actually a toad. When Toad finally meets up with his friends again, they devise a clever scheme to recapture Toad Hall from the weasels in another wild scene.
