In many ways, Over the Wall is the emotional heart of camp, and campers and counselors look forward to the special evenings there. The theatre program caters to the budding actress or the more casual participant, as well as girls who are interested in learning set construction, lights, make-up or costumes.
There is also a camper talent show and a staff talent show for those who wish to take center stage and perform something special for everyone. Each age group, as well as our staff, puts on a show for the rest of the camp during the summer. Campers have many opportunities to perform and work in the theatre, onstage and off. We look forward to continuing this tradition of performances and education in our Mountain Community.Campers love to participate in our Theatre Program in Tripp Lake’s own theatre, “Over the Wall” (OTW). It successfully has completed these activities over the past 24 years with the help of a volunteer staff including directors, choreographers, actors, designers, stage managers, technicians, publicity and marketing personnel, a fabulous group of over 150 volunteers, as well as the 100% participation of the members of the Board of Directors. SDT has a proud and continuous history of providing quality theatrical experiences for the residents of our mountain community. In April 2010, StageDoor opened its new theater, doubling its space to over 5000 square feet and raising our seating capacity from 75 to 121, along with providing a significantly larger mainstage. StageDoor's Educational Program summer camps provide performing arts experience for community youth providing valuable summer activities in our expanding population area. Since then, our highly talented students from age Pre-K through high school have presented numerous shows including Seussical, Cinderella Kids, Legally Blonde, Bugsy Malone, Hello Dolly!, Almost Maine, Chicago, Anything Goes, and so many more. Our first production in September, 2003 was The Music Man with a student census of some 70 students, performing on Evergreen High School’s stage. In March of 2003, the StageDoor Educational Program opened with the intent of bringing musical theater classes to students ranging in age from 6 to 18 years.
