We found some things in the summer camera roll...

The official production photos show you what happened onstage. These are some of the moments that happened everywhere else.

Backstage chaos, costume changes, crew at work, cast shenanigans, rehearsals, props, makeup, and plenty of moments that reminded us just how much goes into making a summer of theater happen.

Consider this our Plays-in-the-Park Summer Camera Dump.
