STC Sets Sail with Spring Break Drama Camp

A week of imagination, teamwork, and performance awaits K–5 students.

SHEBOYGAN, WI--February 11, 2025--The Sheboygan Theatre Company, the local community theater celebrating its 92nd Season, will offer a creative Spring Break experience for young theater performers with STC’s Shipwrecked! – Spring Break Drama Camp. The event will take place March 23 through March 26, 2026, at Longfellow Elementary School in Sheboygan.

Designed for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, this afternoon camp invites participants on a theatrical adventure after a playful shipwreck leaves them stranded on an island. Throughout the week, campers will work together to create and perform an original show before rescue arrives, building storytelling skills through collaboration, imagination, and performance.

The camp will be led by Abi Charbonneau, STC’s Executive Assistant and a Midwestern theatre artist with extensive experience in performance, arts education, and youth-centered programming. Charbonneau has worked with First Stage, Children’s Theater of Madison, Danceworks MKE, Overture Center, and the New York City Ballet. She currently serves as a teaching artist across multiple Wisconsin arts organizations.

“Spring Break Drama Camp is designed to give young performers a space to explore creativity, teamwork, and storytelling in a fun and supportive environment,” said Tricia Roberts, STC Executive Director. “Abi brings a wonderful blend of professional theatre experience and a deep passion for arts education, making her a perfect fit to guide this imaginative week.”

“Spring Break is such a special opportunity for kids to explore creativity without pressure,” said Abi Charbonneau. “This camp is designed to meet young performers exactly where they are, encouraging imagination, teamwork, and confidence through play, storytelling, and movement. I’m excited to help campers create something together that feels fun, expressive, and uniquely theirs.”

Camp activities include high-energy ensemble games, costume and prop creation, and devised theatre work tailored to each age group. Using music inspired by Finding Nemo, Moana, The Little Mermaid, and more, campers will help bring an island-themed story to life while building confidence and collaboration skills. No prior theatre experience is required.
