how you can join us
Each summer we gather about 35 campers for our six-or-seven-hour days of working together. We don't advertise for participants. Each year about four or five of us realize we've grown too old—18 or 19—with summer jobs to help with college bills, and we sadly move on. There are always new Shakespeareans—13 years old or a precocious 12—ready to join up. Some of us are local, some are summer people, and some come from thousands of miles away. We'll find you a homestay. Come up or come over and see one of our performances, and see whether we are what you are looking for. And, check out the "contacts" page right here for various ways to reach us.
we're coming alive again, on craftsbury common
To campers, parents and host families: We'll see you at 9:00 am, right in front of Simpson Hall, Sterling College, at the corner of Craftsbury Common. MONDAY AUGUST 1, 2011! Come and say hello to all. Get ready for a BFH (Big Funnery Hug). Bring comfortable clothes, a lunch and a water bottle, and, above all, a willingness to soar beyond a common bound. Camp will meet daily from 9 to 3, 8/1 through 8/5, with the weekend off (!) and then the second week from Monday the 8th through Sunday the 14th. Our hours grow longer as we approach the performance weekend, giving us time for extra rehearsals, critical note sessions, three performances, and the Circle of Love. So, for everyone's benefit, please don't schedule doctor and dentist appointments and non-essential travel during these two weeks--we all depend upon each other!
