The camper play opens for its annual one-night show this Friday, and everyone is eagerly awaiting this big event. Director Kelly Zimmerman provided the following description of the play and cast:
“The Camp Musical” starring Grace London, Will Shannon, Adina Shapiro, Nathan Swan, Maggie Belshe, and Alex Sieger is an amusing and campy adaptation of High  School Musical. Set at Pok-O-MacCready High, home of the Blueboars, it’s a story about acceptance and support. It’s about overcoming stereotypes that others have of us, and about overcoming our own fears to learn that, yes, dreams do come true if you are willing to take the risk. The Camp Musical reiterates a 103-year-old held value of Pok-O-MacCready Camps: that you can be anyone you want to be and you can do anything you set your mind to.
All of the actors and actresses have been very dedicated, focused, and energetic in getting ready for the performance. Grace London notes that “everyone is working very hard and it’s going well, and Dana Samson says that “everyone is having a lot of fun rehearsing the songs.” In addition to the above-mentioned actors, other members of the drama class and cast include Dalya Harrat, Lilah Burke, Lexie Coleman, Natalie Carroll, Anna Greenwood, Katherine Zimmerman, Jenna Zimmerman, Hannah Bielenson, Alex Gigantiello, Paige Gigantiello, Elizabeth Swan, Hannah Karp, Teonna O’Leary, Moustafa Ahmed, and Sean Holmes. This play is also fortunate to have many cameo appearances by campers and counselors. Go Blueboar! |
yesterday’s start to two days of Indian competitions certainly lived up to expectations, with outstanding individual and team performances throughout the day. The Tuscarora, who finished last in every previous event, shocked their fellow tribes by narrowly edging the Mohawk to capture The World’s Most Complicated Game. The Tuscarora ran hard to win the pathfinding portion of the game; Rachael Schott of the Seneca was the first to find one of the elusive foraging items (at left), but it was the Mohawk who found the most items. Everyone had his or her own contributions; for Pioneer Zach Gallin, his highlight was “finding a dock spider all by myself!”
being followed by a tribal task and puzzle. The Journey was a great success, noted White Woman Dana Beck, and she pointed out the fine efforts of Caroline Wood as an runner and of Lexi Coleman as a master puzzle solver. The Mohawk were the overall victors in this event, with the Onondaga finishing a close second. For the boys, the Rolas competition was amazingly close, with three different tribes finishing with three victories. The tie breaker was goals scored, and the Cayuga, buoyed by their younger team, claimed first place with 19 goals, closely followed by the Seneca and Onondaga.
