Performance Camp attendees will spend an intense learning week together putting on a full musical. Everyone is cast in a role and our staff will make stars out of every kid.
By Kathryn Funkhouser and Denver Casado
The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery, to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day?

Teen camp is two weeks of rehearsals and skills building where the teens rule! They pick a title, design, act, direct, dance, sing and build it! Teens learn valuable skills in leadership, confidence, public speaking, as well as those creative talents we know and love in the theatre. Please note, camp will not be held on the July 4th holiday.

THE MOST VIEWED LEAST WATCHED TALK SHOW IN HISTORY
By Ken Preuss
Public-access talk show hosts Brighton and Avery don’t have very good guests. Or many regular viewers (with the exception of Brighton’s grandpa, who can’t figure out how to change the channel). But the young broadcasters are about to find out that a little serendipity goes a long way when it comes to achieving viral status. Just as the hosts are about to call it a wrap on another unremarkable show, a special, last-minute guest provides a future perspective that has Brighton and Avery reconsidering everything and wondering if their show might truly wind up being the most viewed someday, even if it is the least watched talk show in history.
Skills Camp for ages 6 – 18
Camp runs July 28th – August 1st, 2025 with a $75.00 registration fee per person
Held at Maples Repertory Theatre 9:00AM–12:00PM (Monday-Friday)

Skills Campers will break into groups according to age for sessions taught by our resident company of professionals. We learn the building blocks of theatre in storytelling, character development, teamwork and creative problem-solving. Theatre skills such as good diction, projection, self-confidence, listening and cooperation are important to every aspect of life.
