COST $250

Perfect for kids who want the best of both worlds, Theatre AND Summer Camp! In this one-week camp, participants will work hard, develop skills, have fun, and form enduring friendships as they bring this script to life. From the first read-through to their final presentation, campers will learn all it takes to put together a show in just one week - from choosing costumes and props, to memorizing lines and working in collaboration with fellow actors! Theatre Camps will culminate in a performance held on the last day of camp. Audience members will be granted admission to the theater beginning at 2:30 pm on the last day of camp (Friday). The show will begin at 2:45pm, and run approximately 30-40 minutes. 

Each camper’s family is guaranteed two seats for this final presentation. You will be asked to confirm this number at check in/out on the days leading up to the presentation. If you are interested in a 3rd seat, you will need to inquire with staff at check in/out about ticket availability. If you have two (or more) campers enrolled in the same camp, each camper may invite two audience members. A recording of the performance will also be available to enrolled families.

If you have any questions about tickets for Friday’s presentation, please ask at check in/out, or contact our office at [email protected].

Join us in the magical, colorful world of the deep blue sea in this delightful adaptation! Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book, The Rainbow Fish, with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging. 

The “denizens of the deep” admire the famous Rainbow Fish, the most beautiful fish in all the ocean.  But when Rainbow Fish refuses to share their vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.  Unhappy that no one adores them anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus. Octopus helps the young fish learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

With bubbly, energetic dialogue full of fun, fishy wordplay, this non-musical version invites wonderful creativity and flexibility, framed in a universal message of love, sharing, and kindness that is so much more than just a simple children’s story.

Adapted from the book by Marcus Pfister, translated into English by J.  Alison James, with illustrations by Marcus Pfister.
