Summer Theatre Camp

This summer, join us on The Waldo stage! Over the course of two weeks, campers will learn valuable theatre arts skills in acting, performance, and backstage design, all while rehearsing the play The Fellowship of the Black Pearl. Under the guidance of professional actor and director, Teralyn Reiter, campers will spend the morning developing their Actor’s Tools before applying these skills in rehearsals in the afternoon. Campers will also enjoy workshops further diving into theatre specialties such as lighting, sound, and movement given by professionals in the field. On the last day of camp, family & friends are invited to join us for a performance of The Fellowship of the Black Pearl on Friday, July 31st at 2:00. All levels of experience are welcome.

A thrilling tale of courage, friendship, and the power of unlikely heroes. When the beloved Great Oyster Reef is threatened by dark forces, a brave fellowship is formed—an unforgettable band of sea creatures and one surprising pirate. Together, they must face raging elements, outwit danger, and confront the fearsome Kraken in a race against time. Their only hope lies in finding the legendary Black Pearl, a source of balance powerful enough to save their underwater world. Filled with imagination, heart, and high-seas excitement, this tale reminds us: courage comes in many forms, and even the smallest hero can change the tide.

Please provide a lunch and water bottle for your camper each day.
Registration includes 2 free tickets to the performance. All other tickets are $10.
Proceeds go to supporting the scholarship fund.

Lights. Camera. BRAAAINS!

In this one-week Zombie Filmmaking Camp, students in grades 8–12 will bring the undead to life by creating an original zombie film from start to finish. Campers will dive into every stage of the filmmaking process—brainstorming story ideas, writing a script, designing characters, and planning their shots—before stepping in front of and behind the camera.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of acting for film, basic cinematography, and on-set collaboration, then move into editing to shape their final movie. Along the way, they’ll explore how horror storytelling builds tension, mood, and suspense (with plenty of creative gore—imagined, not real!). Whether you’re a future filmmaker, performer, or just love a good zombie apocalypse, this camp is all about creativity, teamwork, and making something awesome together.

No previous experience required—just imagination, curiosity,

and a willingness to survive the zombie apocalypse!

Registration includes 2 free tickets to the film screening.

All other tickets are Pay-What-You-Can. Proceeds go to

supporting The Waldo’s scholarship fund.
