THE MAC PRESENTS: CAMP: A New Musical
Friday, 6/28 - Sunday, 6/30

Welcome to Camp Goody Goody, a summer retreat for children of the elite run by fading socialite Madame Tres Faux. Crafty-like-a-fox rather than arts-and-crafty, Madame is thrust into emergency mode when, just a day after opening, the camp across the lake mysteriously burns down. She offers to take in the little hoodlums from this less upscale establishment as a goodwill gesture, which leads to hysterical antics, unexpected tensions and surprising twists. With more than twenty songs and a cast of 24, you will be singing long after the curtain closes. Written and Directed by David J.V.Meenan with Musical Direction by Karen Feeney and Orchestration by Jay O'Brien.
