You’re Invited
Bring the musical you’re developing upta
A 65-acre lakeside campus in Maine custom-designed to develop musicals
Get your whole team together in a focused, resourced, and almost free way.
Designed specifically by and for musical theatre pros, Drama Club Camp is the perfect place for your show’s team to get away and work together in a purpose-built campus, and you can pay for Camp with an investment we will make into your production.
We welcome commercial producers for one or two weeks at a time who need a safe, well-appointed, simple, and affordable collaboration solution. No more Airbnbs in the Hamptons or expensive rehearsal studios that don’t really give you what you need and still kill your budget.
Come take over our campus. Have your director meet with your bookwriter in the Woodshed while your composer and choreographer figure out a movement sequence in the Rec Hall. At the same time, the MD teaches actors songs for that night’s sharing presentation. All of this can happen simultaneously at Drama Club.
Available May to November, these retreats are booked Sunday to Saturday in one or two-week blocks.
our campus
Situated just four hours from New York City. Nestled on 65 acres of lakefront beauty, Drama Club Camp is an amazing, tranquil, charming environment along the shore of Torsey Lake in rural Mount Vernon, Maine. Across multiple buildings, each space is designed to support the creation of collaborative musical work and is equipped with the tools that empower teams to create at the highest level.
Artists reside in the Clubhouse, our century-old lodge with 14 bedrooms, a communal dining room, camper and commercial kitchens, a great room with a Steinway baby grand, three fireplaces, and lots of gathering areas. Bedrooms are single or double-occupancy with queen beds and desks or electric pianos. Most bedrooms have sinks, and the Clubhouse has four bathrooms shared by all guests.
Across from the Clubhouse is the Rec Hall, a rehearsal and hangout space. Down the wooded path is a Recording Studio and the Woodshed writing cabin.
For inspiration, look no further than our miles of hiking trails, hidden glens, Frog and Toad Pond, the firepit, or relax on our pristine lakefront as you listen to the loons inspire your next rhyme.
The entore campus has wicked-fast Wi-Fi, printers, instruments, music stands, and more. Tour the campus by clicking through the gallery below.
