2021 SUMMER CAMPS ARE HERE!

WE’RE BACK!

Tidewater Players is excited to announce our season of youth summer camps for 2021. For our 16^st season of youth education camps, ages 5-12 can for the first time partake in the ghoulishly funny world of Charles Addams immortal characters in our junior camp, The Addams Family (Young Part), a newly adapted version of the hit Broadway musical specifically for younger performers. Ages 13-18, get ready to rouge your knees and turn your stockings down (and all that jazz) in Chicago (High School Edition), the iconic Kander and Ebb Tony and Academy Award Winning Best Musical, and the longest running American musical in Broadway history. All camps will be held indoors at The Cultural Center at the Opera House in Havre de Grace, MD, and will be strictly compliant with all current COVID regulations from the CDC and the State of Maryland. For more information, registration, and contacts for further question, go to our Camp page and select the appropriate camp.

Tidewater Players, The Resident Theatre of Havre de Grace

Tidewater Players has served the city of Havre de Grace since 1979 and since 1984have been performing in our home at the Havre de Grace Opera House (now the Cultural Center at the Opera House) by providing high quality entertainment at affordable prices, as well as youth educational programs and our highly regarded instructional intensive summer camps for many students who have no other artistic venues. We also make it a priority to give back to our community and have raised thousands of dollars for local charities over the years including Movable Feast, The Trevor Project, and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We value all art from classics to contemporary to original works, and make a conscious attempt to provide a well rounded season that offers something for every interest. But most of all, we at Tidewater Players pride ourselves on maintaining an all-inclusive, safe, and supportive space for all performers, production team members, and volunteers.
