Only at Camp Starlight can rolls of paper be made into something spectacular. Everyone marvels at the finished product of the plays, but often times, people forget those involved backstage. This week, the crew is back and hard at work on Willy Wonka. Upper Senior Dani S. explains that this show creates a whole new tone backstage. “My favorite part about this show is painting the lollypops. We’re using so many colors and it is especially bright and colorful in the Playhouse!” Each period the Inters come in and sing their hearts out for one determined Theater Director, Jeff Moss, who pinches and perfects each number until each is show ready. Blake, the set designer, is busy behind the curtain, helping campers build a perfect set. Madison K., an Upper Senior girl working on the set, explained that, “it’s amazing that we start from scratch each week. We work together to build something beautiful.” And she’s right. There is nothing like it in the world. On Sunday night Jeff Moss will announce “Ladies and Gentlemen” and the show will begin. With eyes peeled, we will clap with enthusiasm and watch all of the hard work that those behind the scenes have put into the show.
