Law & Disorder: The Case of B. B. Wolf  -  July 8 - 19, 2013

 Law & Disorder: The Case of B. B. Wolf  is a hilarious farce set in a chaotic courtroom.  Mr. B. B. Wolf is on trial for his supposed dastardly deeds.  Crazy characters abound including a fanatical judge, an incompetent lawyer, the Pig sisters, a gibberish spouting scientist, a jokester bailiff, and many others! 

                The all-youth cast will be in full costumes and props and will perform for an audience at the end of the camp!  Brought to you by SUN Community Schools, New Moon Productions, and Portland Parks & Recreation, this extensive theatre camp features instruction by theatre professional Michael Wehrli and others.  Students will build their acting & performance skills while rehearsing for the show.

 

Performances on Friday July 19th.

 

We Open Tomorrow Night?! – A Variety Show  -  July 22 – August 2, 2013

                We Open Tomorrow Night  is a unique play about a chaotic dress rehearsal for a school’s variety show!  The characters include the MC’s in love with their own humor, a frustrated stage manager, a pushy PTA mother, a kindly but confused grandmother, an energizer-bunny-like crew chief, and a girl obsessed with being in the show—as long as it involves an animal costume!  Fortunately, all the talented “acts” are ready to go—even if they backstage people aren’t!

                This unique theatre camp offers an opportunity for both actors and performers!  Have a talent?  Sing, dance, juggle, play an instrument, something else?  Come and join the fun!  Or you can play one of the characters in this hilarious backstage comedy.  Or better yet, you can do both!
