Summer Scamp camp AT the S&S
Join us for a legendary summer!
Do you like fairy tales? Do you prefer them traditional, fractured, or reimagined? Perhaps you’re a bit more Grimm? Whatever your favorite flavor of stories, you’ll want to grab your magic wand and pack a cursed apple in your pack, and join The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre for our 2023 Scamp Camp: Summer of Legend!
This four-week youth theatre camp during the month of June is designed to be accessible as either a modular two-week session or a month-long deep dive into stories, tales, and imagination. Scamps can easily participate in one or both sessions!
The first session will culminate in an evening showcase of fairy tale scenes, the second session in a performance of the one-act play Law & Order: Fairy Tale Unit, and we’ll close out the month with a “cast party” for all campers and their families.
