Interlochen Arts Camp announces summer 2021 theatre titles
Arts Camp students will present works by Shakespeare, Finegan Kruckemeyer, and Rodgers and Hammerstein.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and William Shakespeare’s The Tempest will headline the Summer 2021 Interlochen Arts Camp theatre season.
Camp students in grades 3-12 will present a total of six productions—three plays and three musicals—at the conclusion of the summer session.
The 2021 titles are:
- Junior Theatre Production: If Only the Lonely were Home by Finegan Kruckemeyer
- Junior Musical Theatre Production: Giants in the Sky by Denver Casado and Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm
- Intermediate Acting Company Production: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane adapted by Dwayne Hartford from the book by Kate DiCamillo
- Intermediate Musical Theatre Production: Now. Here.This. by Jeff Bowen, Hunter Bell and Susan Blackwell
- High School Repertory Theatre Production: The Tempest by William Shakespeare
- High School Musical Theatre Production: Cinderella by Rodgers and Hammerstein
Following a pivot to virtual learning in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Interlochen Arts Camp will return to in-person instruction this summer at reduced capacity, with proven health-and-safety protocols.
“In difficult times, storytelling offers us courage, inspiration, and healing,” said Interlochen Director of Theatre Bill Church. “It will be wonderful to be together and to see campers performing on our stages once again this summer.”
In accordance with Interlochen’s Summer 2021 Protocols, members of the public, including families, will not be permitted to attend performances. Access to campus will be limited, pending gathering restrictions implemented by the State of Michigan and public health considerations. As this is an evolving situation, policies will be solidified closer to the start of Camp.
