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.

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.
