“The Grown-Ups” by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques

Undergraduate student Leah Block directs this senior thesis show, a performance of The Grown-Ups by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques.

The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Have a beer; make a s’more; tell a scary story. Figure out what you’re going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about… well, you’ve seen the news. I just got a push notification – they’re getting closer.

Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for this.
