Changing Times
​
Change is all around, everywhere you look. From the patio improvements at the Country Club to the trees that have bloomed into beautiful foliage, the Pinewood Players Theater will be no exception as several upgrades and improvements are planned. On top of all that, we will be serving up another dynamite year of entertainment, arts, and culture to our community!
First, some renovations are badly needed at the theater. We are looking at getting new theater seats, flooring, and marquee boxes. Our technical equipment is also being upgraded with a WiFi network and additional computer controlled lighting. These things will contribute to a great theater experience for years to com.
​
Drama Camp Programs
​
Next, our Drama Camp has been split into two separate programs. Six to eight year olds will participate in the Kidz Kamp; while the older participants, ages nine - eighteen, will be in the Youth Camp.
​
Kids Kamp will run for two weeks, while the Youth Camp will run for three weeks, overlapping the Kids Kamp dates. Our younger campers will learn and perform, Off Their Rockers, by Jill and Michael Gallina, Shawnee Press, distributed by Hal Leonard. This fun-filled and uplifting musical takes place in a senior center where things are a bit boring until the Center Director decides to use music and dance to bring excitement into the lives of the seniors.
​
The Youth Camp will be performing Roald Dahl’s, Willy Wonka JR, from MTI’s Broadway JR Collection. This is a 60 minute stage adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with songs from the film and some new additions.
​
Both camps will culminate with final performances for the entertainment pleasure of parents, grandparents, and all Drama Camp fans. Schedules and more information are available here.

Reader's Theater for Grown Ups
​
Later in August, Reader's Theater – Cabaret Nights will return to the Pinewood Country Club. Novice actors and actresses will read funny skits in an intimate "cabaret style" setting with tables of four and a cash bar. Reader's Theater – Cabaret Nights was an audience pleaser for over ten consecutive years. Pinewood Players is pleased to return the event to the 2024 calendar. Be prepared for all new, hilarious scripts that guarantee a night of fun, laughter, and libations.
​
Pinewood Players are energized and ready to meet the 2024 roster of performances, events, and changes. With your support and participation, we will continue to add to your Summer Camp Experience!
