Season 3: Radio Drama
After making the call not to hold in person sessions during the pandemic, we searched for ways to continue to bring the joy of humor and storytelling to our students. As a camp with a media focus, we’ve embraced the possibility that remote classes can be more than just a holdover while waiting to get back in person with students and families. It is in this spirit that we have taken a deep dive into the wonderful world of Radio Drama.
The characters in these stories are created and voiced by our students. After developing character ideas during class, we take on the task of writing scripts that fold these highly idiosyncratic personalities into the wants, conflicts, and events that drive each story. From there, we record sound effects and original soundtracks for each story, giving them a depth of emotion and space that make each of these worlds a joy to explore. The results have been so rich and lively that one would be hard pressed to tell that all of the vocal performances were delivered remotely. We hope you enjoy!
Revenge of the make believes
Meet the Make Believes, a class of bio engineered individuals transformed from their common animal states into "The Characters of Popular Imagination" by mad scientist, Dr. Lisa Macomb. Her vision? A one of a kind theme park, where fables and their characters are brought to life. But what happens when her creations no longer want to play the roles into which they've been cast? What begins as an escape from a laboratory turns into a quest for justice and self actualization; a quest...to be real.

the portrait
The Children of Olympus have completed a mystical portrait, with the power to transform into a portal to the ancestors. Before they can awaken the portrait, the Kid Deities must summon fellow Olympian spirit, Riffe, Wolf-Guard Of The Underworld (cousin of Cerberus) to howl the awakening call. An unfortunate mishap at the hands of an admirer (Charle the Dragon) leaves the painting in need of stealthy repair. What starts as an attempted coverup leads to the painting falling into the hands of a family of curious mortals and their pet penguin.
