Broadway Comes to Camp

06/10/2026

🎶⚓ The Countdown Is On! ⚓🎶

Our camp typically gets 7 days of rehearsals before opening night. Sounds impossible! But our cast starts at home, practicing lines and songs long before.

This year, we took on The Pirates of Penzance, an operetta that combines the fun of musical theatre with a challenging musical score and harmonies. Thus, our dedicated cast combined their “home practice” time! Several evenings and weekends have already been spent rehearsing together, instead of separately.

Some have grown up with Broadway Comes to Camp and been part of this theatre family for over 12 years. They know the pace, embrace the challenge, and commit to bringing a spectacular show.

Experience their talent, wit, and hard work, and enjoy an evening of fun with your family!

This camp has always been more than a yearly production for us. It’s transformed into a legacy worth carrying on.

Broadway Comes to Camp began with Royce and Hope Chandler, whose years of dedication to camps and teaching with Florida College culminated in a place where, in just nine days, a full musical comes to life and friendships become family.

"The camp is family-based so that family groups can participate together in this experience, regardless of age or gender. Also, the entire production process is centered in a spiritual atmosphere aimed at teaching not only performance and production skills but also how to draw spiritual lessons and growth at the same time." –Royce Chandler

Though Royce and Hope stepped out of leadership last year, the foundation they built continues to guide us. Their vision lives on in every rehearsal, every act of encouragement, and every young performer who steps on stage.

From first auditions to final bows, Broadway Comes to Camp builds not only performers, but also their confidence, faith, and lasting friendships, generationally handing down a love for the arts that endures for a lifetime.

Did you know? 👀

🎶 The Pirates of Penzance first premiered in 1879 and quickly became one of the most beloved comic operettas of all time.

With witty lyrics, fast-paced storytelling, and iconic songs like “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General,” this show has delighted audiences for generations.

We’re excited to bring this timeless story to life in our own way—through the energy and heart of our BCTC performers!
