SYNOPSIS

Camp Crookline is an all original musical which follows the story of 12 teens who go to summer camp and get lost in the woods while searching for the mysterious lost ring of the camp’s legendary and long-lost founder, the crazy Humphrey Crookline. Forced to work together to find their way back to camp, mishaps and hilarity ensue! Choices, trust, talking trees and wistful wildflowers, a mysterious legend, a lost love and a lost ring; the crooked paths each camper follows leads them to places they never knew they could go. 

Filled with comedy, mystery, music, and a few life lessons thrown in for good measure, this show is great for the whole family! 

For actors 16 and up, this class serves young actors seeking to find monologues for auditions as well as experienced actors seeking a deeper understanding and practice in working in Shakespeare.  Work in the class is tailored to the individual actor and is conducted in a master-class format, with each actor working in each class.  Class is capped at 5 to ensure individual instruction and begins with a pre-course interview to determine the student’s goals for the course.
