Crafting the Perfect Theatre Summer Camp Experience: Four Essential Elements
Embarking on a theatrical journey during the summer months is an exhilarating opportunity for young performers to cultivate their skills, forge lasting friendships, and immerse themselves in the magic of the stage. As parents and participants seek the ideal theatre summer camp, certain elements emerge as crucial for creating an unforgettable and enriching experience.
Jersey Boys: The Men, The Myths, The Legacies
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is the greatest band the media wasn’t writing about. This presents a unique problem for a dramaturg when looking for research, inspiration, and articles from the time. But who were The Four Seasons? Where did they come from? How did a group of “Jersey Boys” have such a massive career?
From the Iconic to the Modern: Behind Market's "Jersey Boys" Choreography
“From the surprise early-2000s opening to the sweeping tunes of the '60s, I wanted to create lived-in performances and steps that evoked the style of one of the major vocal groups of the modern era. I took inspiration from many of the real-life Four Seasons performances and incorporated some more modern influences.”

She Kills Monsters: Interview with Fight Choreographer Aaron Pennington
Everyone starts a fight with different stakes and walks away with some different stakes at the end of a fight. It’s still all a part of the show, part of the storytelling, part of acting, and a fight choreographer is going to show you how to have an onstage conflict very safely but also help the audience to be involved in the story at the same time.
D&D: Building Community, Finding Ourselves
The American stage is a space in which artists and audiences alike are searching for and exploring their identities. Theatre creates a space and a conduit for that exploration, a driving force for artists and audience members as they experience the many wonderful stories in the theatre. Basically, theatre artists— like everyone else— are constantly trying to find themselves and as our understanding of the world (internal and external) shifts, so do we. This is where we encounter She Kills Monsters.
