Monmouth Theatre in Newport has a full calendar this summer.

 

June nights will be taken up with “Smokey Joe’s Café,” the rockin’ revue of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller pop standards from the Fifties (“Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “On Broadway” and a zillion more.) Gina Kleesattel will use her summer vacation from School for Creative and Performing Arts to direct. Auditions April 14-15.

 

July will be devoted to a new theater camp, River City Rising Stars, says Joy Galbraith, who opened the theater next door to her Costume Gallery. Three weeks of sessions for theater kids ages 12 to 17 will include demos in puppetry, storytelling, lighting, costuming and lead to a production of “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr.” (gee,  doesn’t Lewis Carroll get any credit any more?) the final weekend of July.

 

Questions about any of the above, call Joy Galbraith at 859-655-9140.
