Escape For Good: One Long Day in the Emerald City

Oz is full of secrets, and it’s up to you to uncover the truth. Inspired by Wicked, this camp challenges students to design and perform a live-action escape room where puzzles, choices, and clues reveal what lies beneath the glittering surface. As they build their original experience, campers explore themes of justice, identity, and storytelling. Remember, not all heroes follow the yellow brick road.

This program is designed for all students—whether you dream of performing onstage, simply want a fun way to make new friends, or both! This class is perfect for students who want to try something new, get creative, and have a blast—whether it is their first theatre class or their fiftieth!
