Are you a nut free camp?
Although we can not guarantee a nut free environment, parents are asked to please refrain from giving students any food and beverage products that may contain NUTS. The safety of all our children is our top priority. If your child has an allergy, we require they be able to administer their own EpiPen in case of an emergency. They must have their EpiPen with them each day.
.
Do I need to call someone if my child is going to be absent?
Tardiness and absenteeism crucially effects the quality of our show. Putting a show together in such a short period time truly requires team work and when one of our team members is missing it effects everyone.
If you will be arriving late or not coming a specific day we kindly ask you to let us know in advance. It’s best to email our office at [email protected] if your child will need to miss a day.
Do you provide lunch?
Food will NOT be provided. All students are asked to bring a bagged lunch/snacks with beverages water and sports drinks are best . Soda and Juice are not allowed

Are any packed lunch items prohibited?

A good rule of thumb to follow is "if you are unsure, don't pack it ".
How does Summer Theatre Camp handle casting?
At NHAOPA we feel there are "no small parts only small actors". Each and every person is important to the success of our show! Each child will have the opportunity to audition for our casting directors. Some young actors are anxious to play the lead role, and some are happy to have a smaller part. We know not everyone will get the part they desire. We ask for YOUR support and enthusiasm following casting.
