Welcome to our “first ever” week-long Youth Theatre Camp. This camp is centered on Smithereen Farm and Greenhorns’ Reversing Hall Agrarian Library and led by a group of young and highly motivated theatre professionals from New York and California who share our ethos of bioregionalism, self determination and youth empowerment.
At the heart of the camp is holistic, uninhibited creativity. In the incredible marine and riverine habitats of our area, children will find natural inspiration to create their own theatrical performance about the eco-system. Your child will learn creative skills by helping build an artistic community and immersing themselves in an environment of rivers and bays, of seas and beaches, barrens, and bogs.
Guided by instructors with backgrounds in theatre, clowning, and education, your child will learn the basic elements of theatre through daily acting, singing, movement, and improv classes. Each day will be filled with outdoor excursions in which your child will integrate their learning by singing to the trees and dancing with the water. The day camp will culminate in a final showcase for friends and family — a student-driven show that utilizes an incredible handpainted underwater backdrop created by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team during the www.ForAlltheFish.org campaign earlier this spring.
All are welcome to join us for the performance at the end: a youth-led tale of the marine heritage, comedy/tragedy, prospects and particularities of this place and moment in time. Amidst theatrical instruction and show development, students will learn about the ecological history of their area through guided study at Greenhorns Agrarian Library. We’ll learn from atlases, field guides, indigenous accounts of encounters with settlers, from wild food cookbooks, as well as many other formats. We’ll focus on cod, pollock, alewives, sardines, clams… all will inspire the costumes and set design.
Want to bring the whole family? We can help you find accommodations if needed.
Underwater Opera is designed for youth ages 7-13 and meets during the day only. Cost is $640 for the full week which includes lunch.

All Things Equal
The Life & Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey, over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts … and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges … an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies, your hankies, your humor and your heart to this entertaining and uplifting event!
Written by Tony Award-Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES
Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg
