Performance ScheduleOur 2010 Summer Performance Schedule--Also, each day we will be up loading new photos from performances and events at camp to our website Photo Gallery under the "Camp Life" section. The residents of the Cloisters care facility live in a pleasant,if delicate, state of denial. They have no desire to leave or have any contact with the outside world until the arrival of Ethel P. Savage. Committed by her ruthless children, who fear her peculiar behavior will squander the family fortune and besmirch the Savage name, Mrs. Savage is determined to prove her sanity so that she can continue to aid others in indulging all manner of foolish fantasies and whims. Peter Shaffer's equestrian meditation on psycho-religious themes follows world-weary therapist Martin Dysart, whose latest professional assignment will lead him on a harrowing journey into the dark heart of the psyche. On a journey risking cause, career and soul, Dysart finds that by rescuing his new charge Alan Strang, a deeply disturbed boy who has performed an unspeakably gruesome act on six horses, he could ultimately save himself. So who is this Bard guy anyway Let's find out together! In this revue-style show we will explore Shakespeare's canon with an eye for fun and an ear for pun! Twice a summer, camper bands have a chance to electrify their friends with real rock star performances (minus the rock star attitudes) at Rock Cafe. Punk, garage, pop, blues and metal groups are all welcome to show off their chops at this high energy concert, which proves that Buck's Rock still knows how to, well, rock! Stoppard's existential comedy centres on two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet. In this genre-spanning recital, Buck's Rock's most musical campers Ñ be they instrumentalists, singers or composers Ñ will showcase their talent and perform selections learned in private instruction or pieces prepared individually. Join us for a night of contemporary cinema as we enjoy the screening of Video Showcase I. Camper projects will be projected onto the big screen for all to see at this 'one night only' event Ñ held under the stars, we promise you will be impressed, entertained and wowed by the diverse range of films on show. Godspell was the first musical by the Tony-award winning composer of Wicked. It tells the story of the Gospel according to Matthew. It's funny, touching, and contains a great rock score. __________________________________________ In collaboration with the Clown Shop, campers can learn to take their comedic improvisations and turn them into prepared sketches. In this process, they learn to have stage presence and learn about comedy. The first Clown Show this summer features a compilation of comedic sketches created by campers and directed by our staff of talented comics. In the midst of a hot, humid summer night, take comfort in the soothing sounds of the Music Shed Concert, an evening of material performed by Buck's Rock's many ensembles. See the a capella groups turn pop favorites into vocal magic, swoon over the cool players in the jazz combos, get riled up for the dynamic orchestra, and lose yourself in the chorus' massive harmonies. The first session Dance show will take its inspiration from Technology and Media. These new choreographic works will be performed at the Summer Theatre. Don't miss it. All day, there will be a display of staff artwork in the Actors Studio. Wise Men of Chelm: "Schlemiels, schlemazels, and dumkops of every kind landed in one spot Ñ one tiny shetl Ñ one ridiculous town made up entirely of fools Ñ Chelm!" Based on a traditional Jewish folk tale, Wise Men has all the schtick and absurd logic of Abbot and Costello, with a little yiddish for good measure. A young woman who spends her life waiting for the return of her fiancee. For fans of the film She's the Man, this is the play it's based on. Viola has to dress as a man to meet Orsino. She falls in love with him, then Olivia falls in love with Viola, because she thinks Viola's a man! Attention movie lovers! Get your VHS, DVDs, and hard-drives ready for this year's Tribute Show! Come participate in this multimedia show that will feature your favorite tracks from Star Wars to Pinocchio and everything in between. Play the music from your favourite scenes! Any six week camper who would like to extend the extra couple days to perform in the show is more than welcome to. The more the merrier! So grab a seat and get your popcorn ready for Songs of the Silver Screen: A Tribute to Music in Movies! Four identical pure white canvases; decorative constructions made exclusively from found animal parts; a bucket of clothes pins. A cast of nearly 50 characters parades through a modern art exhibit on its final day. From overeducated pontification to bewilderment, from rage to ecstasy Ñ no two people react the same way to "art." The second session dance show deals with Philanthropy as inspiration and motivation. All new choreographic works perform at the summer theatre. A must-see.
