I loved the variety of the camps and performance locations like Pine Tree Camp (for adults with disabilities), the Children's Hospital, street theater performances, and Faneuil Hall."
– Student, New England Traveling Theatre

"I definitely feel like my acting and stage presence has improved on this program. Any stage fright that I have had has been overcome. I've learned how to deal with people even when you are with them all the time. That was probably the hardest part. My cooking skills have improved and I no longer fear the kitchen."
– Student, New England Traveling Theatre

"Zako now accepts, maybe even embraces, a piece of himself that I think he used to keep quiet. He's more comfortable with all of who he is." – Parent, New England Traveling Theatre

Enjoy a summer of performing arts, Windsor Mountain style. If you are excited about theatre and want to try acting, if you like traveling, meeting people and making new friends, if you like exploring interesting sites, then New England Traveling Theatre is for you! Challenge yourself as you help create a unique traveling theatre performance. Come together with students of many backgrounds and diverse talents to learn new theatre techniques. Learn about yourself and develop your theatre skills along the way. Immerse yourself in this creative process from beginning to end, and face many new challenges. There are few lines to memorize, no tech rehearsals to check the lighting and you might not even have a dress rehearsal before you meet your first audience! The moment you begin performing the show that you helped to develop, you feel an amazing sense of accomplishment. As part of a close-knit group of students, always remember what it is all about: FUN!

Windsor Mountain has taken pride in our traveling theatre programs for over 30 years. Our students work together to create a show, then spend the majority of their trip performing in a variety of sites. If you participate in the Traveling Theater program you will:

Discover the challenges creating a performance that incorporates a variety of theatrical skills.

Learn the ins and outs of performing on the street

Discover the nuances of day-to-day life on the road as a performer.

Develop and improve a variety of skills taught by theatre professionals.

Teach theatre workshops at camps throughout New England.

Make new friends!

Who Should Participate?

This program is intended for students who have the desire to experiment in performing arts, want to make friends, and who enjoy traveling, camping and the outdoors. This program is designed for students who want to try theatre for the first time, as well as those who already have some stage experience. Students need to be ready for the challenges of working and living together as a small, close-knit ensemble, and should arrive with an open mind and a willingness to take risks onstage! As with all our programs, students will not be allowed to bring cell phones and may only communicate once or twice with their families during the program, though families are encouraged to attend performances when possible.

Projected 2008 Itinerary:

Day 1-2: Arrive at Windsor Mountain International Summer Camp. Group Orientation.

Day 3-15: Travel to Montreal, Quebec! Continue group orientation while enjoying the sights and sounds of Old Montreal. Get settled, meet the directors of your show, and then rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! Louder, faster, funnier! Between rehearsals, explore Montreal, try speaking French, and bond with your group.

Day 16-28: Take the show on the road! Perform at summer camps and village squares throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, including a street performance at Boston’s Fanueil Hall, and a final performance at Windsor Mountain.
