 We
perform 12 full-scale shows
every three weeks in seven indoor
and outdoor theaters. Campers choose to appear
in either Musical or Drama productions. Auditions are
kept fun and easy: In partnership with another camper
their own age, they read a short scene on stage, then
each is given the opportunity to sing. A short workshop
beforehand prepares each child, and gives them a chance
to work with the pianist playing their audition.
A variety of performance spaces include:
| • |
Our newest theatre, currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION |
| • |
Our 350-seat Mainstage, The Carl and Elsie Samuelson
Theater |
| • |
The Jack Romano Playhouse, former nightclub of
the resort. |
| • |
The Cabaret Theater, a Revue style stage that
brings the audience up close. |
| • |
The Forum, under a giant circus tent! |
| • |
The Garden, a magical space in an environmental
setting. |
| • |
The Carousel and The Merman, black
box houses perfect for the intimacy of drama. |
Professional Scenic, Costume,
and Lighting designers make Stagedoor productions
look great! Two scenic shops and an air-conditioned costume
shop with abundant stock accommodates our technical staff.
A limited number of Technical Camper spaces are
available. |
| We
guarantee individual attention and expression
by averaging 26 campers or less to each production. |

Nestled in the Catskills is one of the most extraordinary
stages: the 350 seat "CARL and ELSIE SAMUELSON THEATER!"
Dedicated in July of 2002, the "Elsie"
is a large "barn-style" theater, with
a 32' x 25' stage, great acoustics, and plenty of
raked seating. The theatre has a large wing
space, a steel tower for flying sets, dressing rooms
with bathrooms, a large tech/lighting shop, and
a rehearsal studio that is larger than the stage
itself! |
