Theatre Arts

One of the strongest and most popular departments at Brown Ledge is Theatre Arts. Three one-act plays are cast at the beginning of almost every week and produced that Saturday night. The excitement is high as all in camp eagerly look forward to attending each performance. In addition to one-acts, the eight week season features a well-known three-act play in late July, a Stock Company performance, and a Broadway musical the last week of camp.

Each week the BROWN LEDGE PLAYERS achieve a degree of finesse and realism rarely found in camp dramatics.
Brown Ledge offers a theatre facility seating over 250, complete with proscenium stage and arena. It is equipped with a make-up room, a wide assortment of props, a complete lighting booth and a well inventoried costume shop. Every girl in camp is welcome to try out for a variety of roles each week, the acting roles are competitive. All campers may participate in acting classes and in the stage managing, lighting, directing and costuming of the weekly plays.

 It is our belief that live theatre is a vital art demanding commitment from both sides of the curtain. The theatre arts senior staff typically includes three directors, a choreographer, a technical director and a musical director. All continue their theatre interest, often professionally, year round. They demand and get good theatre.

The staff views play production as a team effort, and encourages campers to learn all aspects of theatre. Classes are held on a wide-range of topics. Here campers may learn acting techniques as well as how to design and construct sets, create lighting and sound effects, run props, costume, stage and house manage, etc. Each week's productions provide practical applications for these skills.

The Brown Ledge Theatre is a teaching and Summer Theatre in every respect.
