interACT Theatre Productions presents their annual youth production this December 2016, and this time, it's Disney's Camp Rock: The Musical! The show, based on the hit Disney Channel films.

Camp Rock: The Musical, which has songs written by former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. However, they're surprised to find that the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock's very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers and gets them into top shape for the ultimate musical showdown! The Disney Channel films starred pop idols Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers.

The show is directed and choreographed by recent Perry Award nominee Tasha R. Williams, with music direction by Erin Jonas, and stage management by Meara Franowicz. Rounding out the crew are producer Charley Harn, scenic designer Connor McCarthy, and lighting designer Zach Pizza. The cast consists of almost 50 young local performers, split into two casts. Both Rachel Cabrera and Sophie Glen star as Mitchie, with Aiden Harn-Flood playing Shane.
