Theater Camp 2025
OCTC's Youth Theater Camp

Casting will begin the first day of camp for a two-week rehearsal process of the musical.

"OFF THEIR ROCKERS" 

Keeping with the tradition of offering a fantastic theatre experience for youth, Ocean City Theatre Company's annual collaboration with the City Recreation Division returns. Camp will feature acting games, song and dance activities, trips to the Music Pier for the Tuesday morning Children's Series and a hilarious fully-staged musical entitled, "OFF THEIR ROCKERS". The musical takes place in a senior center where all is quiet and calm and perhaps a bit boring; that is until the Center Director decides to use music and dance to bring fun and excitement into the lives of the seniors. Through songs and dances that were very much a part of the seniors' past, the Director, along with friends and family, encourage the seniors to get "off their rockers" and join in on the fun. Songs include: "Old Time Rock and Roll", "The Banjo's Back in Town", "Rock Around the Clock", 'At the Hop", "The Peppermint Twist", and "Dancin' in the Street"
