Our students will rewrite a previous story written by the Middle school Ensemble class of 2022, entitled The Starbuccaneers! This story is a fun take on the discovery of a certain coffee shop we all know and love.

This class will focus on...

• Character exploration: Helping students connect to their character. Developing their character. Learning to let go of performance fear.
• Team bonding: No show can go on without everyone working together. We strive for kindness and encouragement!
• Script Flow: How to write down blocking directions and director's notes.
• Audition Work: We will do a cold read audition for a few parts. 
• Memorization Work: We will review different memorization tips and techniques before the audition, and will review when the finished scripts are received!
• Stage Combat: Sword fighting, regular fighting, and how to die on stage. By the end of camp, students will have created a play completely unique to the students' personalities and will feel empowered to perform!

Musical: The Addams Family

This summer at the Evergreen Players Drama Camp, middle and high school performers will step into the wonderfully weird world of The Addams Family—a story that celebrates individuality, humor, and the joy of being unapologetically yourself.

The class will be taught by Cortez Daniel, co-founder of Tones Collective, educator, musician, and long-time champion of youth arts programs. Cortez brings a joy-centered teaching philosophy that encourages students to bring their full selves into the creative process.

Throughout the camp, students will explore how joy fuels character work, how authentic expression can elevate both comedy and storytelling on stage.

We’ll focus on...

• Character Ownership: Helping students find personal connections that deepen their performances.
• Joyful Discovery: Using movement, improvisation, and reflection to unlock creativity.
• Collaborative Ensemble Building: Strengthening trust, confidence, and risk-taking within the group.
• Performance Craft: Developing acting, vocal, and physical storytelling skills inspired by the musical’s iconic characters.

By the end of camp, students will not only present polished scenes and musical moments from The Addams Family—they will also leave with a stronger sense of themselves, empowered to bring joy, boldness, and authenticity to every stage they step on.
