iTheater Saratoga Summer Youth Theater Camp

Registration is currently open for iTheater Saratoga’s summer youth theater camp at Saratoga Arts. The camp welcomes children aged 10 and up and sets out to explore a variety of social issues, push the boundaries of theatre, and incorporate the insights of iTheatre’s young collaborators. 

Camp rehearsals run Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from August 17-21 & 24-28. The camp culminates in a student showcase including a concert reading of the musical “Every Other Thursday.”

The musical is based on Helmi Seppala, a Finnish maid working for the Mawson family on New York’s Upper West Side in 1927. She has one day off, every other Thursday. When the Mawsons ask Helmi to change her plans, she refuses, leading to conflict and confusion in the household, and an exploration of the importance of cultural heritage to an immigrant population.

Students are encouraged to wear loose fitting clothing or athletic wear and should pack plenty of water and a lunch. Reach out to itheatresaratoga@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
