Adventures In Acting was created through a love of kids, teaching, theater and producing quality community productions.  (Besides, who needs sleep?)  I have been enamored with the stage for ages, and here in Corvallis I have been active at The Majestic Theater, Corvallis Community Theatre, and Willamette Children's Theater.  For several years I missed starting my summer with a kick-off frenzy of children's theater, and hence was born this venture.  Since then, all our summers have been a treasure trove of theatrical planning and adventures, and we all love it! 

In 2006 we dove into an undersea exploration of Alice's Wonderland, and in 2007 we saved Pinocchio from the perils of Hedonia as he learns some important life lessons.  In 2008 we explored the comic aspects of Shakespeare's tragic love story, re-written as a hilarious inter-planetary musical, "Romeo and Harriet."  2009 finds us jammin' at the beach, hangin' out with the gang, searching for that perfect wave until ... no, not a "Wipeout!"  

The camp staff is absolutely, positively incredible ~ from the visual artistry talents of Erik Olson to Betty Busch's musical magicianship to Jenna Logerwell's delightful (and easy) choreography, and of course Corey Jay's creative costuming ... all held together by Alison's energy and smiles and a host of other behind-the-scenes helpers.  It was so much fun ~ we all are looking forward to another year, and we hope you'll join us!! 

This year's play will be, again, fabulous.  Its music will truly have you singing along, and the characters' zany adventures and superb one-liners (you'll be amazed at all the surf-lingo and songs you didn't realize you knew!) will have you laughing, cheering, and hoping the curtain doesn't close too soon.  Combined with the amazing talents of our youth, these performances are not to be missed!

We hope to welcome you to our own "Wonderland!" and don't worry, there are truly "No Strings Attached"!
