Red Bank Regional High School (RBR)’s Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) Summer Academy presents Stephen Murray’s Kamp Kaos, on Thursday, August 8, at 7 PM. The performance takes place in the RBRHS Auditorium, 101 Ridge Road Little Silver, NJ. All seats are $5 (at the door). The show is an Eldridge Production featuring the fun antics of campers and counselors with lively, rock-n-roll tinged musical numbers, so apropos for the RBR camp performers.
Auditions for the show take place among the RBR Summer Academy camp enrollees on Monday, July, 22. Spots are still available for the three-week session in both the Musical Theatre and the Visual Arts tracks which begin on the same day as auditions. The camp is open to students entering the 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th grades from Monmouth County and surrounding areas.
The RBR Summer Academy of the Arts provides an exploratory visual and performing arts program for middle school students and rising freshmen. Many of RBR’s own Visual and Performing Art Academy students have attended this program. The program is offered over five weeks in the summer and is divided into a first half, two week rotation of all visual and performing arts including dance, drama, crafts, creative writing, piano, percussion, photography, visual art and vocal music. During the final three weeks, campers choose to concentrate on either the musical theatre tract (including acting, dancing and singing) or the visual arts tract, which includes fine arts and handcrafts.

The program operates with staff members who teach in the RBR Visual and Performing Arts Academy during the school year as well as guest artists. Many RBR VPA students and graduates return each summer as counselors to the campers. The program is totally self-sustained by tuition and there is always some funding available to provide scholarships for those who demonstrate a strong desire to participate but cannot afford the program.
