Theatre Performances

nwkids_performing_arts.png

Our theater program has won awards and influenced careers in acting, directing and voice. Most importantly, it is a great opportunity for campers to try new roles, learn their lines, and tell a story with their castmates. Drama brings our camp community together and creates memories for everyone involved! Please see below for information on joining a Willowbrook production!

"The theater department was amazing this year and such a positive experience for our kids. They did all three plays between our two kids and had so much fun. They made friends every week and wanted to go back to hang out with their friends!"

- Willowbrook Parent, 2025

Artisan campers who wish to be in the performances must be signed up for the two weeks prior to the play so that they can attend all rehearsals. If your Artisan camper is coming for only one session, they will be unable to participate in the play. Performance sessions are Sessions 1 + 2, 3 + 4, and 5 + 6. Villagers may participate in the pre-performance show, which will consist of a dance, song, and/or skit. Villagers only need to attend the week of the performance to participate. Performances occur on Thursdays during sessions 2, 4 and 6.

​

Important information about performances is made at both morning and afternoon assemblies. Auditions happen after morning assembly on the first day of camp, so your child should immediately head to the Drama tent to get more information and audition. If campers do not audition on their first day of the session, they have a lower chance of being cast in a production.

 

Joining a cast at Willowbrook is a dynamic and fulfilling experience. It is also a commitment for up to two weeks, as well as the evening of the performance. Campers who have a part in the play will be expected to rehearse every day of camp, limiting their ability to participate in other activities.
