Adam Apple, the wheeler dealer director of Camp John Smith is in trouble – the boys’ camp will be shut down if they don’t get their camp in shape. Adam convinces Eve Hunnicutt, the manager of the girls’ fashionable Camp Pocahontas, to give the rambunctious gentlemen of John Smith a place to stay until things get put back together. When serene Pocahontas comes in contact with wild John Smith, this entertaining farce bursts with hilarity. Of course, no one is to know the boys are staying, including the camp’s owner, Mrs. Thistlemist. Keeping any calm, however, is beyond reality when a parade of hilarious characters in addition to the John Smith boys wander into camp: Elmer Crumb, from the carnival with his associate, Cleopatra Nile, who is never without her snakes, Clams Marinara, the notorious hood, the Mo ‘Sisters’ making a celebrity visit to Camp Pocahontas, and a poison ivy victim who resembles a walking mummy just for starters! Problems stack on top of each other until once charming Camp Pocahontas is declared unfit for habitation by the state inspector.
With rousing songs such as “A Real Job,” “Poison Ivy Blues” and “Junk Food Junkie” (the camp’s food “rap” song!) to mellow musical numbers like “Broadway Baby” and “My Buddy and Me,” Krazy Kamp is great summer entertainment for the whole family!
Krazy Kamp is performed under the direction of Steel Beam Children’s Theatre Coordinator, Kim Maslo and features the talents of Haley & Jamie Maul of Aurora, Riley Sachse of Batavia, Mackenzie Hillmann of Campton Hills, Kyle Krisch & Nicolas Sole of Carol Stream, Bella Buncher, Zoe Borden, Nick Borodin, Aidan Burns, Theresa Calabrese, Maddy Donatelli, Michael Garcia, Helen & Will Johnson, Ella Kobylecky, Abbey, Carrie & Jack Loria, Lilly Nowak and Kenna Powell of Geneva, Emily Whaley of Schaumburg, Ellie Feldsien, Jacob & Lindsey Gallaher and Lissy Holbrook of South Elgin, Maddie Colglazier, Sofie Peltier, Aaron Delaney, Allison Griffiths and Skylar Knorr of St. Charles, Brendan Walsh of West Chicago, Claudia Mead of West Dundee, and Kendall Gail of Winfield.
