Theatre Camps

Wayne Township Theatre Camps

In 2008, WTCT introduced Kids Summer Theatre Camps as a way to provide theatre enrichment following a highly successful production of Honk Jr. which featured over 50 area children.  The program has grown to offer camps during Summer, Fall, and Spring breaks and has proven a vital part of WTCT and the community.  Each camp is led by a teaching artist, blending instructional and performance opportunities which develop skills that will last a lifetime.

Young Jeremy Jacob is digging in the sand at North Beach when he is greeted by Captain Braid Beard and his mates, and is recruited to help find the perfect digging spot for their treasure. Boarding the ship, the Captain introduces the boy to his pirate crew who share with him the ins and outs of a pirate’s life at sea. When a storm arises, the skills of the crew are called upon to steer the ship to safety and Jeremy Jacob begins to wonder if the pirate life is really for him. But all is well and they arrive back at the beach in time for soccer practice – but not before leading them to the perfect spot to bury the treasure – his own backyard! A story of adventure and finding one’s own heart – a path that can’t be found on any treasure map!

The Darling children love to hear of Peter Pan’s adventures during his visits through the open window of the nursery. Then one night after Nana has taken his shadow and Wendy has sewn it back on, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell whisk the children off to Neverland to be part of the adventures. Wendy, John, and Michael become friends with the Lost Boys and Princess Tiger Lily, and Wendy becomes everyone’s mother.
