Synopsis of this year’s production:

The School for Spies

By Katie Colletta and Jason Sifford

It’s a brand new year at the School for Spies, an elite training program for spy recruits, run by the Global Intelligence Agency. But when the powerful Moon Cube goes missing under the GIA’s watch, the School is thrown into turmoil. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join a world of secret agents and espionage to crack the case. Choose your allies wisely and keep your ears and eyes open… all is not as it seems at The School for Spies!

Designed for students at all levels of theatre experience, campers will audition, rehearse, and perform a musical alongside three professional teaching artists...in one week! The School for Spies is a heart-warming one-hour production with a script by Katie Colletta and music by Jason Sifford.
