For those registered for TECH CAMP before 6/5/2024:
TECH CAMP will NOT be on stage learning the script and music for the performance. They will work behind the scenes, learning set, lighting and sound design.  They will be behind the scenes for the performances, keeping the show moving – just as important as the actors! TECH CAMP is limited to about 5. When registering, please check for availability.

MUSICAL 2024 🎭

In this hilarious tweaking of the fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea”, Queen Aggravain has ruled that none may marry until her son, Prince Dauntless marries.
