The First Five Seasons

When my oldest was 7 I started looking around for a Theater Summer Camp he could participate in, but found they were all pretty pricey.  Especially as I added the cost of two or three children.  So I decided I could direct a little play, and invite a few friends to participate with my kids.  The first year we did it was 2008, and we had a cast of 23.  As I've gained more experience and as people have told their friends, we have grown in numbers and in quality.  The time-frame format has changed over the past few years, but the concept is the same:  an affordable and quality performing option for children.
