Winning playwrights receive recognition in the local media and a full production of their winning play. Over the course of the eight-week 2011 MiniPlay Camp, local youth produce, direct and act in the winning plays, culminating in public performances in late February.

In DramatiCATS (Comedy and Tragedy Stars), campers will write and perform original plays they develop. But there’s a catch – every play must incorporate the same theme, a common line of dialogue and a common prop…but no one knows what these are until the moment they are to write. DramatiCATS camper’s imaginations are challenged constantly while they create one of a kind new theatre.

Through workshops on songwriting, rhythm and movement, Girls Camp of Rock will bring out the inner rockstar in every camper! Not to mention, participants will gain the experience of performing in a real music venue.
