A rockin’ good time was held in the woods of Camp Knickerbocker in Boothbay Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18 and 19 as the Y Arts Theater Camp really “moved it” in their presentation of “Madagascar.”

The cast of 35 young performers danced and sang to 15 songs during the hour-long show, which was directed by Emily Mirabile.

The story centers around Marty the Zebra (Sarah Harris) wanting to leave the zoo and return to the wild. When she does, her friends, Alex the Lion (Sophia Mansfield), Melman the Giraffe (Imij Armstead) and Gloria the Hippopotamus (Scout Martin) try to track her down and finally find her in Madagascar. A whole bunch of lemurs and penguins fill the cast. The play is based on the film “Madagascar,” a 2005 American computer-animated survival comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures.
