What to Expect

This summer's production is Honk, JR! — a musical adaptation of "The Ugly Duckling" about a bird named Ugly who discovers that being different is what makes him special.

Campers spend the week in a supportive, creative environment filled with singing, acting, movement, games, and rehearsals — all leading up to a performance at the end of the week. No prior theater experience needed!
