The 2008 Performing Arts Camp Production

Our 10th Anniversary Performing Arts Camp returns to where it all began.

Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN, GODSPELL, and many many more) focuses his talents on the story that started them all with an original spark of creation.

CHILDREN OF EDEN was our first Performing Arts Camp show a decade ago. It remains a thrilling celebration of life, of creation, and of the family of man.

The set and costumes for this production will be made available to area Middle Schools during the coming year (and for years to come), as well as The Project's skilled theatre artists, to help Middle Schools keep theatre alive in their own school community by producing the show with their own cast. Schools can contract to use the set and costumes alone or with the assistance of Project artists.

Schools can even contract The Project to direct and coordinate the entire production as an after-school program.

While the pilot production this August will feature a small small-scale presentation and limited cast, the program is designed to be expandable with student chorus and ensemble participation. All resources are being created for use in a wide range of performance venues, from well-appointed theatres to the most modest "cafetorium" setting.

You may wish to invite the theatre specialist at your own area Middle School to attend the performance and/or learn how they can get in on the act with their own production of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND this year.

For more information, e-mail Joy Corgain, The Project's Office Manager, or call 503-350-3210.

Area Middle Schools will be able to access The Project's ONCE ON THIS ISLAND resources during the school year at three levels, ranging from a simple rental of set and costume pieces, to technical assistance and directing guidance provided by Project artists, to a full-scale production coordinated and staged entirely by Project directors. Your school can choose a level of assistance appropriate for your existing drama program's resources. A necessary performance agreement with the show's copyright owner applies. Fees are negotiated for each level of service. Contact Joy Corgain for more information. Also available is Gilbert and Sullivan's PIRATES OF PENZANCE, and Rodger's and Hammerstein's CINDERELLA.
