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 from the musical. After lunch, campers rotate between outdoor play activities and additional rehearsal time.
This camp does require additional dress rehearsals during the weekend of the show and will have 2 performances. Performances will take place at the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center in Foxboro, while our daily camp will take place at our Mansfield Arts YMCA at 40 Balcom Street.
This year we will perform Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Jr.

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.”
