Bringing theatre to life, and life to theatre...
We are all wanderers on this earth. Our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.

Drama Camp!
A magical place where theatre and art come to life.  Each

ends with a performance by your children for friends and
family.  All camps taught by
Charity Caroline Pirkle.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar  -  Age: 6-8 years
Campers will utilize puppetry and movement work to bring to life the
text of Eric Carle’s "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" (celebrating it's 40th
anniversary!) In addition to playing ensemble building theatre games
that explore the body, voice and mind, students will become the
characters to tell the story. The camp will culminate in the campers

Native American Stories  -  Age: 9-11 years

performance for family and friends at the end of the week to share their

and meaning of the text through choral speak while becoming the
various creatures and characters of the text.

Everyone has a story to tell -  Age: 15-17 years
This camp will focus on creative writing, improvisation, and group
storytelling. Together the campers will decide a common theme to
explore and will go through a series of writing prompts, discovering
active ways to write creatively through improvisation and accessing
multiple intelligences. From these prompts, each camper will create a
brief narrative. Campers will then work in groups to devise staging for
structured improvisations based on each narrative, which will then be
shared with family and friends at the end of the session.
