This fun performance is a culmination of their work and will feature acting scenes and musical numbers. Actors perform the show for family and friends on the last day of camp in the Music-Armory Building Recital Hall. Information concerning performances is distributed the first day of camp. Students are required to participate in both performances. Tuition does not include admission to performances. Tickets to performances are $5 each.
