Summer Camp 2025 at the Wichita Theatre is entitled “All the World’s A Stage”, which is the first part of a William Shakespeare’s monologue which says,

“All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely Players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His Acts being seven ages…

Summer Camp ‘25 is NOT about William Shakespeare but titled as such to remind us that every part of our life has an element of acting in it.  Whether it’s a job interview, being a friend even when you don’t feel good, or just smiling at mom and dad and doing what they ask EVEN when you don’t want to.  

This year’s camp, besides teaching basic stage skills will include, as described by camp director, Carl Alfert:
