PMTP'S LATEST ORIGINAL PRODUCTION
Book by Joshua Borths and Danny Abosch
Music and Lyrics by Danny Abosch
Directed by Ryan Scott Oliver
Robert Wilson and his brother Blake persuade their town to purchase what they claim to be a miracle pill, invented by their late father, scientist Dr. Wilson. The pill is actually a placebo made of nothing but sugar, but the town, believing it to be real, becomes carried away with the 'miracles' that the pill is reportedly responsible for. Robert and Blake’s plan is wildly successful...but at what cost? PLACEBO is a story about dreams, and questions the idea of reality in a world where what isn’t 'real' often appears more promising.

Hearken back to PMTP's roots! The Workshop is light on sets and costumes but chock-full of singing and dancing! And, it's up first!!
WHICH COMPANY IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
All 4th—6th Graders should enroll in the Junior Company.
For 7th—12th Graders, the Workshop Company (June 18—July 5) is perfect for musical theatre beginners with limited or no stage experience, students who can’t make the six-week commitment of the PMTP Senior Company, or students who are looking to have fun with drama.
Also for 7th—12th Graders, the Senior Company (June 26—August 5) is right for students with some experience in music, theatre, and/or dance; students ready to engage in a serious, high-intensity six-week program designed to encourage skill-building and professionalism. Auditions are required for students who have not participated in at least two previous Senior Company productions. Read this document for more information about the audition requirement.
All students 4th—12th grades interested in focusing their skills in specific areas (theatre, voice, dance, writing, and more) should enroll in a class in our Conservatory (June 18—22).
