July 16-27 Elementary / Middle Camp Ages 5-14

Show:  “Honk Jr!”   Fee $350

Put a real show on in just two weeks by attending this fun filled camp!  Students will learn assigned roles, build simple sets, learn how to paint sets, and learn what it takes to put on a production!  With actors on Stage, and students who will learn the technical side of theater, the end product will be an entirely student run performance.    There will be a public show on the final day of camp at 6pm.

Honk! Junior is a great reminder of all the things we hope kids learn--accept others for who they are, not what they look like, remember that being different is okay, and remember that out there somewhere, someone's gonna love you -- warts and all!

 

 

July 30-August 10 Elementary Camp Ages 5-12

Show:  “Charlotte’s Web”  Fee $350

Put a real show on in just two weeks by attending this fun filled camp!  Students will learn assigned roles, build simple sets, learn how to paint sets, and learn what it takes to put on a production!  With actors on Stage, and students who will learn the technical side of theater, the end product will be an entirely student run performance.  There will be a public show on the final day of camp at 6pm.

All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer." Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give your actors a great opportunity and the audience will love the show!
