Once again the Hershey Area Playhouse will partner with the Hershey Gardens to offer a special two-week camp for 4th-8th graders. With the exception of Mondays at the Playhouse, students will meet in the Gardens and explore the beauty and vastness of the area. The camp will meet in the Education Center for an indoor space and outside in the outdoor theatre and surroundings. Our 13th Anniversary show is Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted by our own Jennifer Feldser. Jim Hawkins is given a map which sends him and his friends on an adventurous ocean journey to seek infamous treasure. Lead by the infamous Long John Silver, a mutinous crew of pirates will stop at nothing to get to the treasure first! The camp will be complete with auditions, acting games, rehearsals, memorized lines, blocking and swashbuckling fights. We will add costumes, props , and small set pieces for a polished show with 30 campers in only two weeks! Our qualified Theatre Academy teachers and counselors are looking forward to getting back to the Gardens and working with and enjoying your children.
Only 30 campers will be cast in the show, each one with a speaking role, so register soon! Please make sure your child can attend every day of the camp before registering. Much is accomplished every day!
