About the Play
​
Kat was led to believe that she was on her way to space camp, and nothing could have been cooler. But when a snafu with registration occurs, Kat is instead headed to arts and crafts camp... and nothing could be lamer.
​
​Between the boring pottery classes, confusing crochet lessons, and overly perky counselors, Kat is sure that this is going to be the worst week ever. Until someone goes missing! A storm blows in and before they know it, Kat and the rest of her campers will have to utilize every crafty tool they’ve got in order to survive the night.

​
Tentative Schedule
Rehearsals​ are currently planned for 4 days per week, tentatively on weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons, beginning the week of February 19.

Audition Tips​
​
It’s okay to be nervous!
Just about everyone is nervous. Do your best to smile and have a good time. Take a deep breath and slow yourself down - trying to rush through the words will often lead to mistakes!
​Be kind to everyone and smile.
Remember that your audition is like an interview, and it begins the moment you walk in the door.​Sun, Sept 17, 10:00am – 5:00pm
​Research.
Find out what you can about the play and the characters. Read a summary of the play before the audition.​
Be prepared.
If you are asked to present a song or monologue, prepare your piece well. Memorize your selection and practice it many times.
Be on time.
We want to know that you’re punctual and reliable. A good rule to live by: if you’re 5 minutes early, you’re on time. If you’re “on time,” you’re late.
