Magic Circle Players’ highly anticipated DRAMA CAMP is held each summer and gives young actors (must be entering 3rd grade – high school seniors in the 2026 school year) the opportunity to have a full theatre experience in ONE week. Day One starts with auditions: actors are then cast in a role, and receive a script. During the week we teach how to memorize lines, voice projection, blocking a scene, character development, and a lot of fun theatre games. At the end of the week, family and friends are invited to see the 45

minute production, with full costumes, lights and sets. It’s a wonderful, whirlwind of a week! Scripts are original, and all actors have an equal number of lines.

PERFORMANCES ARE FREE

The Last Act is a Solo by Robert Anderson

Laura Cunningham, once a star, lives amid costumes, props, and memories of her career. Too frail to act, she remains fiercely independent and resists her nephew's attempts to move her to the country where she can be cared for. In fact, she has an interview that very afternoon with a director. Directed by Janel Culver

The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang

An accountant wanders onto a stage, is mistaken for the understudy and forced to perform in a play, without knowing any of the lines or even which play he is in. Directed by Jonathan Heath

 A Date with Death by Steven Hayet

Dating is hell, rather than the awkwardness of turning someone down, Angela prefers murder. However this time her “baggage” doesn’t go unnoticed. Directed by Nichole Kurtz

A Jewel and a Fool by M.A. Smith

How do two lifelong friends say goodbye when one is staring in the face of his mortality? Brutally honest, tender and gutsy; all is stripped away, leaving only the shared memories and the love of a best friend. Directed by Everett Gregory

A well-known gothic-romance writer survives a terrible car crash, only to be rescued by his self- appointed “number one fan.” What starts as care becomes control as his increasingly deranged captor demands a new ending to her favorite series. Trapped, injured, and cut off from the world, he must write to stay alive while searching for a way out. Tense, chilling, and unpredictable, Misery is a gripping thriller where devotion turns deadly. Directed by Michelle Terry, Assistant Director Dru Weaver
