Students in grades 1-8 are invited to participate in Camp Rhythmo’s holiday production of “Babes in Toyland.” All students will be cast.

Here’s a little information about the production: “Set in the mythical world of Mother Goose rhymes, this show will delight audiences, both young and old. The villainous Barnaby has fallen in love with sweet Mistress Mary Quite Contrary. If he can’t buy her love, he’ll force her to marry him by threatening to foreclose on her mother, the poor Widow Piper. Mary already has her heart set on marrying Barnaby’s nephew, Alan, but not if Barnaby can help it. He hires two bumbling ruffians to do away with Alan, but Alan returns to Mother Goose Land amid much rejoicing.

“Mary journeys to the mysterious Toyland through the dangerous Spider Forest. But wait - Barnaby hasn’t given up, and he herds the whole gang of Mother Goose Land characters to Toyland in pursuit of Mary. There we encounter the magical mystery of Toyland as we meet Master Toymaker and his quirky assistants, Grumio and Marmaduke. This charming musical tale through the worlds of Mother Goose Land and Toyland will delight audiences.”
