“Theatre is fun,” says john, “And we want everyone to enjoy it. For the last four years I have been writing and directing plays for young actors and their parents in Austin and it has been a blast.

The show has singing and dancing and many jokes. All facets of production are work, but they are all fun too. Our camp will be fun.”
