What Is It?
Hope Drama Camp is an annual week-long event giving students (ages 15-21) the opportunity to develop and practice skills in musical theater — singing, choreography and drama — as they enjoy the process of bringing a production to the stage in just one week!
However, because of the global pandemic, social distancing, and current production limitations, we will not be putting on a full Broadway musical this week. Instead, we are planning a very special HOPE Drama Camp Reunion! That's right! We're asking everyone of all ages who have been part of Drama Camp in the past — from 2007 to 2019 — to celebrate our incredible legacy as we share some of the best songs from many years of musicals. Godspell, Joseph, Wonka, Seuss, Wiz, Pirates, Beauty & Beast, Honk... we're gonna do 'em all!
The cost of the camp is just $20/performer. This will allow us all to get nifty new "reunion" t-shirts and cover the minimal expenses of production rights, music, etc.
When Is It?
- Drama Camp: Monday, July 27 thru Friday, July 31, from 2:00 to 9:00 PM at the Hope Theater.
- Performance: We will broadcast the show on Saturday, August 1, at 4:00 PM (stay tuned for the link to where you can watch!)
A normal camp year requires all campers to attend camp all day, each day, without missing any rehearsals. This year, though we still encourage everyone to attend all rehearsals, we understand that this might not be possible due to the shorter notice, work schedules, etc. Also, because not every camper will need to be at every rehearsal block, knowing availability will help us set a schedule.
Supporting Care Net Pregnancy Resource Centers!
It has always been our delight to promote and support Care Net Pregnancy Resource Centers as part of our Drama Camp performances each summer. This year, since we won't be able to "pass the hat" around the audience, we're asking everyone to give generously online. Your contributions help to save lives and transform souls day after day.
