Theatre Camp
Theatre Production Camp
Throughout the course of this 2-week session, theatre campers work together to produce, rehearse and perform a musical.
We begin each day with a warm-up and game, then spend mornings learning choreography, music, and scenes of the musical. After lunch, campers rotate between outdoor play activities and additional rehearsal time.
This camp does require additional dress rehearsals on Saturday morning of each performance weekend and will have 2 performances. Our daily camp will take place at our Mansfield Arts YMCA at 40 Balcom Street. Location for performances will be announced.
This year we will perform “All Shook Up: Young@Part”
All Shook Up: Young@Part
It’s 1955, and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Teddy Bear,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog,” and “Jailhouse Rock.”

About the Production
Bye Bye Birdie: Youth Edition is a 1-hour adaptation of Bye Bye Birdie, specially tailored for elementary and middle school-aged actors.
A loving musical send-up of the early 1960’s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock and roll, Bye Bye Birdie remains as fresh and vibrant as ever. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses an all-American girl, Kin McAfee, for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a tuneful high energy score, plenty of great parts for kids, and a hilarious script, Bye Bye Birdie remains one of the most popular shows in school across the country.
Hit songs include “Put on a Happy Face,” “One Last Kiss,” “One Boy,” “A Lot of Livin’ To Do,” “Kids!’ and “Rosie.”
