Willowbrook Musicals

The Epic Willowbrook Musical (2009)

In 2009, the Film Tent produced its most ambitious project yet- The Epic Willowbrook Musical. It took three weeks and hundreds of kids to finish this project. All the songs were written and composed by campers and staff, and we think it turned out pretty awesome.

The Epicer Willowbrook Musical (2010)

After the success of 2009's Epic Willowbrook Musical, the Film Tent didn't waste any time putting campers and staff to work writing, composing, recording, choreographing and performing the sequel. It took about four weeks to finish, and we think the Epicer Willowbrook Musical has even more memorable songs, more impressive costumes, and more baby possums.

A Little Different (2015)

Written and directed by Zoë Sherman and Simon Farrell, this 2015 musical film from the Film Tent stars many Willowbrook campers.
