During this fun-filled week, students will develop their acting skills through direct teaching, exciting improvisations, and preparing an original, one-act play called Big Wheel.
The Cave-dwelling clan are on top of the world since discovering fire, until some of the Tree-dwellers are caught with a mighty strange new thing – big and round with a hole in the middle. What is it? What can it be used for? In this hilarious one-act comedy, competing clan members argue and experiment to try to figure out what to do with this big stone wheel.
The camp week culminates with the students performing their play ON STAGE for family and friends to enjoy.
