Who
Rising grades 5–9
Calling performers, prop handlers, costume designers, set-builders, make-up artists, comedians, stunt doubles, musicians, drummers, strummers, DJs, and all lovers of the stage: there is a place for you here in the Wassaic Project theater! This is the camp where it all comes together! Vagabond Time Killers THE CAMP will put on an epic performance bringing to life the third installment in the Vagabond Time Killers narrative, pulling together elements from camps all summer long.
dOpen to 24 young creatives, campers will choose a major to focus on during the camp session. This might be acting, musicmaking, or tech crew–aka The Wayward Theatre Troupe, The Unruly Band of Renegade Music Makers, or The Backstage Wranglers of Craft and Crew. All campers will have a hand in creating the set/prop/costume elements, as well as spend time intensively with their focus group.
Members will perform an original play telling the tale of how the Vagabond Time Killers travel through time and space to save their home of Whatthewhat. It will be wild, weird, funny, heartfelt, and one-of-a-kind (think Monty Python and The Princess Bride in spirit). Roles will include the Vagabond Time Killers themselves, the wizard Azorazad, the troll Inan Doubt, the mad emus the Mothers, the Rattlesnake Chorus, and more. The camp will culminate in the performance of Book 3: The Spare Plug of the Space Station, on Saturday, August 14, at 4 PM!

* We have a no-questions-asked scholarship policy to ensure our education programming is accessible to everyone who wants to participate. If the cost of camp presents a significant financial barrier, please reach out to jill@wassaicproject.org for a partial or full scholarship. If you do so before December 18, we will send you a discount code before registration opens.
We will issue a refund minus 20% for cancellations received two weeks in advance of the camp start date. There will be no refunds of cancellation notices received within two weeks, as it is difficult for us to fill the spots on such close notice, and we operate within a narrow budget. We will waive this policy in the event of an emergency or hardship — please email jill@wassaicproject.org should you need to request this.
About Vagabond Time Killers
Welcome to the town of Whatthewhat, a magical place in a steep valley where fairies build villages in tree roots, apples ripen to the color of indigo, and when you dig a hole in the ground, you never know where it will come out. The moon is always visible in the sky and the water flows uphill (except on Mondays). To enter and leave, you must tell a joke to the bridge troll Inan Doubt, and everyone trades in the blue rocks called slag strewn through the riverbeds. Pantyhose the Billy Goat roams the hills and the horses three, Charlemagne, Antoinette, and Bob, graze happily on the grassy slopes of Rattlesnake Mountain. Here dwell the Vagabond Time Killers, a group of kids expert at killin’ time, the wizard Azorazad who guards the top-secret time machine, and the Unruly Band of Renegade Music Makers, who perform never-before-heard works of music on never-before-seen instruments.
Each year, the rattlesnakes on Rattlesnake Mountain threaten to overtake Whatthewhat and claim it as their own. They demand an offering from somewhere distant in time and space to keep the peace in Whatthewhat. In the year of 2027, the rattlesnakes have requested that the Vagabond Time Killers retrieve the spare power plug from the Intergalactic Space Station on which all humans live in the year 4027!
Join the Vagabond Time Killers in restoring balance to the town of Whatthewhat. With the help (or sometimes hindrance) of Azorazad the Wizard, Pantyhose the Billy Goat, the troll Inan Doubt, the inventor Eddie, the mad emu Mother, the Unruly Band of Renegade Music Makers, the Keeper of the Rattlesnakes, Old Gray Beard, and many more friends, the Vagabond Time Killers will travel into the beyond. Will they succeed in their mission of retrieving the spare power plug? Only time will tell.
