Showtime Theatre Camp: Totally Awesome 80’s! (ages 7-12yrs)
Step into our Delorean and time-travel back to an era before iPhones or Google as you relive the magic of the Totally Awesome 80's!with us in this Showtime musical theatre camp.
Join us for a show that’s a Thriller for the kids and MTV-worthy show for friends & family on Friday afternoon at the Mable House Amphitheatre!
We’ll introduce your kids to iconic movies & TV shows, epic music, bold fashion & a totally awesome pop culture. This isn't just any musical theatre camp. We're talking neon colors, BIG hair, parachute pants, 10-foot phone cords & MTV!
Imagine recreating classic movie scenes from Raiders or Karate Kid, hosting your own TV game shows, starring in sitcoms, or acting in a hilarious 80's commercials.
Channel your inner Prince, MJ, Whitney, or Madonna, as we sing & dance to the coolest music decade! (Ok, as a child of the 80's, Ms Holly may be biased, but she knows your kids will love it!) From hair metal to one-hit-wonders on Casey Kasem’s Top 40, our show has something for every musical taste.
And who wouldn't have fun mimicking rad 80’s slang like, "Don't have a cow!" or "Gag me with a spoon!" Your child is sure to have an awesome week!
Like totally, fer sure.
In addition to a bodacious final show, our camp weekalso includes:
- Silly skits & improv games
- Surprise scenes we create ourselves
- Movie-inspired music & sound effects
- Action packed choreography
- Costume & set design
Recess & snack breaks for making friends & having tons of fun!
So the best part is, kids explore their own imagination & ingenuity to learn all about the theatre and create a full stage production!
Under the guidance of Holly Tate, a professional vocalist & acting coach in her 3rd year as creative director of amphitheatre camp, campers will learn how to…
- memorize skits & scripts
- read narration expressively
- rehearse vocal & instrumental music
- design & build scenic sets
- create costumes & props
- choreograph dances & action scenes
- create special effects
- and more!
Whether your camper is new to the theatre, an experienced performer, or a backstage-type personality, we have a role for everyone.
Future Broadway stars will have opportunities for lead roles, vocal solos or dance acts, while shy kids can perform in the ensemble as a supporting cast member.
Not a singer/dancer? No problem! We need comic relief for funny skits and backstage heroes to help with sets, props, costumes & special effects.
So any valley girl, material girl, cool dude, or rad kid should sign up now.
Because as the infamous Ferris Beuller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't enroll now, you might miss it!"
… Ok that may be slightly paraphrased, but we'd hate for you to miss our Star Wars & ET scenes and get swept Back to the Future while the rest of us get to breakdance & rock out to Bon Jovi on the amphitheatre stage!
It’ll be totally awesome!
Are you signed up?

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION
Camp runs from Monday through Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm at the Mable House BARNES AMPHITHEATER. Please be advised that this facility is exposed to the outdoors. Please dress accordingly to the weather.
Showtime on Friday afternoon (time TBA).
Ms. Holly will bring the majority of supplies, but children may be asked to bring items from home to help design costumes, props, or sets as part of their creative experience.
Students should bring a water bottle, two snacks, and a sack lunch (no nuts please) that is ready to eat. Students do not have access to a microwave.
Camp registration closes on Wednesday the week prior to camp or when full.
Theatre camps are popular and usually fill quickly. We highly recommend early registration to guarantee your child’s spot. Space is limited.
Last year, we reached our max quickly and had a waiting list of 20 kids! Enroll now to ensure your child will be on the stage, not on the waiting list… because that would be grody to the max.
