Performing Arts & Music

Theater

Med-O-Lark’s Theater Program is formulated to appeal to children of all abilities. From campers who have never performed on stage to those with prior acting experience, our adult Performing Arts Staff create a comfortable and fun atmosphere, while producing quality shows that children are proud to participate  in. Auditions are held for each show’s roles and every camper receives an assignment.

Med-O-Lark’s theater program has a non-competitive and supportive environment. This allows first time performers to feel safe in trying something new and exciting and more seasoned performers to enjoy our fully mounted, choreographed and staged productions with which to improve their skills.

Med-O-Lark offers a Musical, Cabaret and Play for four week campers and the One-Act play for two week campers. All shows are produced and performed onsite in either the Theater or Coliseum.

Med-O-Lark also offers theater related activities that allow children to become part of the productions without performing on stage. These include Set Design, Prop Management, Stage Makeup, Costume Manufacture and Theater Tech programs. These electives are open to campers of any age.

Med-O-Lark campers also enjoy our workshops of Improv, Shakespeare Monologues and Poetry Reading.
