Attendance

Students must be available for all rehearsal and performance dates and times. Every actor, whether a lead role or ensemble, is used in the majority of the production.

Due to the team building and collaborative effort our program focuses on, our schedule does not support conflicts with other activities. Theatre is a team sport and the magic of what we do can only come from being there in person and supporting their fellow cast members.

Materials

A snack and water bottle

During the performance week, all students will need to wear a solid black t-shirt, solid black shoes, solid black pants (or solid black leggings), and black socks. This goal is for no ankles showing, and students to have a base layer of clothes that we can use under their NBT provided costumes. If you need support or these items provided, please email studio@northbaytheatrics.org and we will provide them for you.

Student Behavior and Attitude

Brook Haven Middle School rules and the NBT Code of Conduct apply during all rehearsals and performances. Together, we strive to create a positive, welcoming environment where students of different ages and backgrounds can collaborate and thrive.

The Little Mermaid — Cotati Main Stage (Ages 7–13)

This season, our students will dive under the sea and work together to create a magical production of The Little Mermaid! With more than 50 hours of instruction, this class is ideal for both beginners and experienced young performers. Students will build skills in acting, singing, and staging while preparing for a full-scale musical that culminates in four performances for friends and family — complete with stage lights, microphones, costumes, and excitement for all.

Every student is a valued part of the cast.
Every single student receives a named character. No “background fish number three” here.
Each student gets their own individual bow moment to be celebrated onstage.
Roles are never limited by a student’s size or gender identity.

All registered students are part of the show.
Auditions are only required for those who wish to be considered for roles with a large number of speaking lines or solos. We make the process fun and welcoming, and we always focus on placing students where they can shine.

At North Bay Theatrics, we put person above performance.

We know and value every single student, no matter what role they play. We focus on building friendships, encouraging leadership, and celebrating creativity. Our philosophy is be who you want to be. We want our students to feel confident, accepted, and proud of who they are.

Get ready for a high-energy summer adventure inspired by one of this year’s biggest hit movies! In our K-Pop Demon Hunters Summer Camp, campers will dive into a world of music, action, and imagination as they bring this exciting story to life.

Throughout the week, campers will:

• Sing songs from the movie

• Act out scenes and explore character work

• Design and create their own Rumi-inspired demon hunter sword prop

• Fully immerse themselves in the story, style, and energy of K-Pop Demon Hunters

The camp experience will culminate in a special presentation for families, where campers will share what they’ve learned and created.

We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times to support busy families. In addition, free lunch services are available through our partnership with the City of Cotati, making this camp both accessible and convenient.

This camp is led by Aliya Webb, who brings creativity, enthusiasm, and a supportive teaching style that helps every camper feel confident and included.

Join us for a summer camp filled with music, storytelling, creativity, and a whole lot of demon-hunting fun!
