Theater Camp Performances

For the past several summers, Jim and Kristen Collins-Laine have been hosting a day camp led by a pair of charismatic young coaches. (The picture is of their son Virgil, taken for a photo shoot in Southwest Airlines' inflight magazine. You can read the article here.)

The camp will be holding a pair of performances at the Town House. The first, an improv performance, is this Friday, June 29, at 3 p.m.  On Saturday, July 7, the camp performs two original one-act plays. The show begins at 3, with a potluck supper following.

Last year's show was a real hoot, with romance, mystery, intrigue, time travel, and fright wigs. Don't miss it!
