A Summer Musical for the Whole Family

Easton Children’s Theatre will be performing the family musical “Krazy Kamp” on Friday, July 24 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, July 25 at 7 p.m. Both performances will be in the air conditioned auditorium in the Easton Middle School, 100 Columbus Ave.

This fast-paced musical comedy is about the residents of two summer camps on the banks of lovely Lake Lookeeloo. The trouble begins when the slovenly male campers from Camp John Smith become the guests of the upscale ladies at Camp Pocahontas. There are a number of uninvited guests that add to the confusion and the comedy.

The show features Nick Williams as Adam, the head counselor for the boys camp and Hannah Clifford as his counterpoint at Camp Pocahontas. Brendan Shanahan plays Adam’s neurotic side-kick, and Julia Hazel plays the girls’ camp co-counselor. Danielle Geary appears as the old-school style counselor Hildegard, with Christina Beatty as Vivian Vandersnap, who plots to expose the chaos at Camp Pocahontas to the owner, Misses Thistlemist, played by Nicole Geary.

Meanwhile, hiding in plain sight is Tyler DeCouto as Kate Milfloss, the girl who has run away from home to become a “Broadway Baby.” Hiding out are also two escapees from the carnival, Elmer (Nate Flynn) and Cleopatra Nile (Cameron Isveck), who are being chased by the gangster Clams Marinara (Remy McInnis) and his gun-toting girlfriend, Dixie (Alyssa Kenney), who are also being chased by the local police, played by Nathan Mirsky.

Director Tim Andrew is assisted by Gwen Kozak, Hannah McKeen, Lily Vinocoor and Rebecca O’Rourke.

The show is designed to appeal to a broad age group—parents, kids and grandparents—and it features many of the brightest singing and acting talents in the Easton area. Tickets are $10 at the door.
