TWO SUMMER OPTIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL!

Based on the popularity of our Song Cycle session over the last two summers, Wolf PAC Summer Theatre Camp is offering a new opportunity exclusively for our rising ninth through twelfth graders to mount a staged reading of a contemporary musical! Working with a professional Director, this tight-knit troupe will rehearse in the evenings for three weeks to prepare a performance in the third week of the program. Minimal technical elements allow this ensemble to focus on the material and bring their unique personalities to exciting titles that energize our older, more adventurous performers.

  • Perform a staged reading presentation of a contemporary musical

  • Explore material geared towards older performers

  • Tackle a challenging score with a professional Musical Director

Get in, losers. We’re doing Mean Girls!

Our debut SUMMER NIGHTS program will perform a staged reading of the smash hit musical. Edited for time and content, performers will take on the story of Cady Heron, who goes from home schooled in the African savannah to the real wild jungle of American high school. Three things you can count on: betrayals, backstabbing…and belting. 

Three week program from July 21st - August 7th, 2025

Monday-Thursdays from 5:00pm - 7:30pm

Tuition: $415 (10% discount if participant CITs for two weeks during the summer) - contact Sarah Wittwer to register for both at sarah@wolfperformingartscenter.org or 610-642-0233.)

  • What is a staged reading?

    A staged reading is a performance that emphasizes the material over production values, such as sets and costumes. Performed mostly at music stands with limited staging, participants get to sink their teeth into the material without having to focus their energy on memorization given the short amount of time allotted for rehearsals.

    Why start this program?

    We loved the idea of offering our older artists a chance to have a more traditional musical performance at camp. SUMMER NIGHTS offers a musical performance opportunity. 

    Is SUMMER NIGHTS during the camp day?

    Nope! NIGHTS will take place in the evenings during the camp week, from 5:00-7:30pm, Monday through Thursday. CITs are welcome to remain at Wolf PAC between the end of the camp day and start of their NIGHTS rehearsal.

    Will SUMMER NIGHTS have a performance?

    Yes! On the Thursday evening of the third week of the program, the cast will present their staged reading musical performance in the Black Box for family and friends.

    Who can participate?

    SUMMER NIGHTS is open to rising ninth through twelfth graders. Participation is based on registration, not auditions. Auditions will be held during the first evening, but all who register will be cast in the show!

Join us at Wolf PAC this summer for a tuition-free, volunteer opportunity to grow and hone offstage skills as a leader and mentor to our younger campers. CITs will assist with all aspects of the camp day, including tending to camper needs and assisting with rehearsals for the final performance. CITs will be responsible for leading group warm-ups, games, and portions of rehearsals. They will have the opportunity to tackle specific parts of a show (direct a scene, stage a song, create and teach choreography) to be determined with the show’s directors.

All CITs will be integral as Stage Managers to technical aspects of the final performance such as props, costumes, sound, lighting, and more. Additionally, CITs may assist with choreography and backstage organization.

When CITs register for camp, we will contact them to discuss their interests and match them with either our CUBS or PAC groups. Below is a chart of the scheduled shows for the PAC and CUBS groups sessions.

Becoming a CIT at Wolf PAC is so rewarding!

New this year, CITs will receive a personalized recommendation letter from the Camp Director and/or staff upon completion of the program. Plus, a nifty participation certificate that can be used to send off to colleges or confirm volunteer hours for high school programs! In order to receive the letter and certificate, CITs must meet the following criteria:

• Attendance: CITs must attend at least 80% or more of the camp session (four days per week).

• Participation: Each session, the Assistant Camp Director will communicate with the directing teams to confirm that CITs are engaging with the campers and staff in a productive, helpful manner.

• Leadership: Each CIT will direct/teach/choreograph a portion of the show with the guidance of our professional directing teams!

Earn a Certificate of Completion and a letter of recommendation after fulfilling all of the criteria of the program.
