Much Ado About Theatre Camp (originally named Fauquier Youth Theatre Camp (FYTC)) was the brain child of Hannah Butler, Rachel Davis, and Samantha Franklin. The camp was designed as a 2 week, performance-based camp. It was set up to teach the campers about the concepts in theatre that would help them grow as performers and technicians. As the camp has grown and developed, there have been new faces to the staff, new campers, and new theatre, but overall, the camp is designed to teach through performance. Campers learn what it takes to put on a show in three weeks now, instead of two, and what it means to audition for and participate in a large production. Our camp was originally designed for campers aged 14-21 years old.

​

We have since expanded to now provide 2 camp options. Our June camp is now for ages 14-18 years old and we provide education through putting on a full production. Our July camp is now for ages 7-13 years old and we do a JR production to teach campers how to be in a show, backstage etiquette, and all early aspects of theatre. We play games as well that go back to different theatre lessons. Both camps are done within a 2 week timeframe. All choreography, blocking, and music will be done during that time, with the expectation that campers are learning lines outside of camp hours. These camps are so much fun!
