Theater and Music

Dynamic and energetic performing arts programs
make Med-O-Lark’s theater one of the busiest areas
in camp. The productions that campers participate
in create a “Broadway-like” atmosphere that is
electric. The heart of the theater program lies in the
three, four week productions. The play, the musical
and the cabaret are offered to four, six and eight
week campers, and the one-act play is designed
specifically for two week campers. All of Med-OLark’s
productions are produced, performed and
recorded on campus, in the theater. Eight week
campers have the opportunity to act and/or sing
in one, two or all three of the fully mounted and
staged productions, which are performed during the
last week of the session in front of the entire camp
community. As a compliment to the larger productions,
workshops in improv, theatre tech, set design,
scene study, monologues, Shakespeare, mime, stage
combat, performance art and voice lessons are offered.
Like all activities at Med-O-Lark, the theater
and music programs are designed to accommodate
campers of all abilities. Med-O-Lark’s performing
arts program is formulated to foster inclusion,
promote respect for each camper’s abilities and to
present an opportunity for children to develop their
skills in an enriching, non-competitive environment.
