Homeschool Performance Workshop: A Wicked Freaky Friday

What happens when two rival roommates, Elphaba and Galinda, wake up in each other’s bodies? In this magical twist on Freaky Friday, the two witches must navigate life at Shiz University while pretending to be one another. But the strange soul swap may not be limited to just them – other characters may be caught in the same magical mishap. What hilarious hijinks and unexpected lessons will emerge from this “wicked” mix-up?

This program is designed for homeschool students who want to perform!  Performance Workshops emphasize both the journey and the artist. Each actor receives a role in the show, immerses themselves in the rehearsal process, and explores character development through the actor’s toolbox. These fun and engaging productions offer a unique opportunity to build confidence, forge lasting friendships, and deepen your understanding of theatre!
