We’re excited to produce our first online musical! This camp will meet Monday-Friday for three weeks to produce an awesome musical designed especially for LIVE zoom performances! Besides working on vocals, choreography, and “staging”, participants will get to explore all of the other aspects of production, including: prop making, theater makeup, costuming, technical production, and set design! All materials needed for the daily projects and activities will be provided for you in a Camp Crate, which will be delivered prior to camp! Keeping with Playful People’s values, we will have small groups/casts of 15 people.
Charley Maplewood has never been one for parties – that would require friends, which he doesn’t have. Well, unless you count his monster friends, but they’re only imaginary. But now that he’s turning ten—the big one-oh—he decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a “House of Horrors” theme. Of course, things don’t work out as he plans. Will Charley be able to pull it together before the big one-oh . . . becomes the big OH-NO!? Based on the beloved children’s novel and hit TYA musical is specifically designed to be rehearsed, produced, and performed remotely on the internet. Providing your cast and creatives the opportunity to connect with each other while delighting your digital audiences.
