Each summer we offer three exciting drama camps: two for ages 8 - 11 years old and one for ages 12 - 16 years old. The campers experience all aspects of theater, from improvisation and theater games, to technical and performance skills. These skills are put to the test when the 8 - 11 year olds perform in the ensemble of one of the Children's Theatre Productions, and the teens take acting to the next level with scene work, which they showcase for parents and friends.

The 2007 camp dates for Camp One for ages 8 to 11 will be June 29 - July 10, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (no class July 4th), and July 11 - 14, 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. including performances in Snow White.

Camp Two for ages 8 to 11 will be August 6 - 14, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., and August 15 - 18, 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. including performances in Jungle Book.

For ages 12 - 16 the camp will run July 16 - 27, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Each camp will be held at the Deb Fennell Auditorium, 9000 SW Durham Road, Tigard. The cost for each camp is $225.00 (space is limited). For information on dates and how to register call 503-620-5262.

All sales are final and non-refundable. However, summer season pass holders can exchange tickets for another performance of the same show if available – return tickets to box office at least 48 hours in advance to exchange. There are no refunds or exchanges for single ticket sales.

Patrons who miss their performance may come to the theater and wait for stand-by availability for the same production. If we’ve got room, we’ll get you in. Unused tickets can be taken as a tax deduction. Your unused ticket will serve as your receipt.
