On Friday the kids meet at the Civic Center in the morning. They adjust to stage in the morning, and have a dress rehearsal in the afternoon. We have a pizza party before the show and students perform Friday night. The show is roughly 45 minutes to an hour long.

Two-week camp sessions start at the end of June and run through late-August. We offer one production for students in Grades 1 – 5 and an older student production for students in Grades 6 – 12. Each two-week camp is Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the show takes place on the last Friday of camp in the Civic Center – Carrier Theatre.
