In this performance camp, students will rehearse and present a patriotic celebration of America’s 250th birthday. This camp is designed for students who love theatre! It’s a rigorous, exciting program, dedicated to actor training and theatre fun. Besides being a great opportunity to learn about theatre and the process that goes along with producing shows, this camp provides a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to grow and to develop new friendships. The camp will be filled with learning and rehearsing, culminating in two to three performances at the end of the two weeks. Students will be expected to start memorizing lines before camp begins and may be required to provide some costume pieces, such as shoes, pants, etc. When they are not actively rehearsing, they may help prep the technical aspects of the show, such as sets, props, costumes, or they will work on memorization and characterization, either individually or in small groups.

"The Entire American Revolution in 40 Minutes or Less"
History has never been so fun... or so fast! Flying through the major points of America’s quest for independence, this fast-and-loose comedy plays like a highlight reel of history in hilarious fashion!

Sorry, Hamilton’s busy in a different play, but your audience will both laugh and learn as they watch patriots such as George Washington, Paul Revere, Samuel and John Adams, Patrick Henry, and Benjamin Franklin battle the vain King George III and his British soldiers.

From the Boston Tea Party to the Battle of Bunker Hill (Did you know it was really Breed Hill?!) to the crossing of the Delaware and onward to the British surrender at Yorktown, the historical meets the hysterical in this super flexible and easy-to-stage one act delight!
