Dear Edwina JR. is a heartwarming musical about the joys of growing up, from the creators of Junie B. Jones, The Musical. Written in a “show-within-a-show” format, Dear Edwina JR. is the perfect “girl power” musical for a new generation.

Dear Edwina JR. follows the adventures of plucky advice-giver-extraordinaire, Edwina Spoonapple, as she directs the neighborhood kids in a series of buoyant production numbers for the latest edition of her weekly "Advice-a-Palooza.” Edwina and her friends share wisdom on everything from trying new foods to making new friends, through clever, catchy and poignant songs.

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM:

Participants spend half the day in interactive workshops on theatre-related topics taught by local experts and program staff. The other half of their day is spent in rehearsal for this year’s musical production, culminating in a fully produced musical complete with professional sets, lighting, costumes, & more!

Informal, non-stressful auditions are held during the first week of the program; every participant is placed within this year’s production.

Registration for the summer program opens early March, and closes in June.

  • "being part of vtc has given them a sense of belonging"

    “Both of my daughters have grown so much during their time there. They’ve gained confidence, become more comfortable in crowds, and found a space where they feel supported and excited to express themselves. Being part of VTC has deepened their love for theater and given them a sense of belonging. I’m so thankful for the care and encouragement the staff provides. It’s a warm, welcoming environment that brings out the best in every child. I can’t recommend it enough.”

  • "high-quality musical, productions have always been top-notch"

    “It's truly fascinating how over the course of just a month, VTC can produce such a high-quality musical with children. The productions have always been top-notch, well-choreographed, every kid is on-task, and the singing and acting are always on point. The costumes are classy and the set is always well-constructed and designed professionally. I truly can't say enough good things about VTC summer camp! I HIGHLY recommend it to any kid interested in theatre!”

  • "staff clearly love what they do, their passion for theater shines"

    “We were lucky enough to stumble upon Voorhees Theater Company from a friend's recommendation. SO thankful we did! The staff and counselors clearly love what they do, and their passion for theater shines through in every aspect of the camp. Sitting in the audience my cheeks hurt from smiling - watching every kid on that stage just beaming getting their chance to shine. It is a wonderful program and inspiring, supportive community that I wholeheartedly recommend.”

    - Kimberly B.

  • "a family who inspire your children to go forward with their passion"

    My sons have participated and enjoyed the Voorhees Theatre Company for the last two years, the only complaint from them was that I did not sign them up sooner! The VTC is not just a Theatre Camp ran by counselors, directors and staff just getting through another day, they are a family who inspire your children to continue going forward with their passion and love for music, acting and beyond. I could not be more thankful for the happiness and enjoyment the VTC has brought my sons and family.

    “From day one, the camp counselors and directors created a supportive, fun, and professional environment that brought out the best in every child. The training she received this summer was top-notch—not only did her confidence grow, but her performance skills also improved. I’m truly grateful for the dedication and passion this team puts into nurturing young talent. Thank you for making this summer such a memorable and enriching experience for our family. We can’t wait to come back next year!”

  • "from the moment [my daughter] joined, she was welcomed"

    “From the moment she joined the camp, she was welcomed into a supportive and enthusiastic environment. She not only honed her acting skills but also made wonderful new friends along the way. The camp was incredibly affordable, especially considering the high-quality production they put on. The play itself was fantastic, showcasing the talent and hard work of all the kids involved. The production quality was top-tier, and it was evident that everyone poured their hearts into the performance.”
