Summer Drama Camps!
Create a Play in a Week!
What happens when a group of creative kids are given five days to put on a play? They write it, design it, rehearse it, and perform it!
At Mountain Play Theatre’s Summer Drama Camps, participants will work together to create an original production from the ground up. From storytelling and character creation to acting, directing, costumes, set design, sound, and lighting, campers will get hands-on experience with every part of the theatre-making process.
The week culminates in a live performance where family and friends can celebrate everything the group has created together. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping onto the stage for the first time, there’s a place for you in the show.

Theatre Instructor Tara Whittick holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre and a Bachelor of Education degree and continues her teaching career that has seen her work with children as young as 3 and adults as old as 93! Her passion for the performing arts first took root in school, where she reveled in playing a range of characters and embracing her creative side. Over time, that passion blossomed into expertise in acting, directing, set and costume design.
But Tara’s true joy? Teaching theatre! Highlights of her vibrant teaching career include directing high school productions, leading school-wide musicals with students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 all working together, guiding full-class dramatic storybook performances, and organizing heartfelt Remembrance Day Ceremonies. For Tara, there’s simply nothing better than seeing children grow in confidence, take bold risks, and light up the stage as their most authentic selves.
