LowellArts Connects artists and audiences through visual and Performing ARts
Theatre
Coming soon!
LowellArts presents youth theatre production, Mayhem at Camp Marigold by Deanna Strasse. Performances will be held April 12 & 13 at the Lowell Performing Arts Center.
Kat was led to believe that she was on her way to space camp, and nothing could have been cooler. But when a snafu with registration occurs, Kat is instead headed to arts and crafts camp... and nothing could be lamer. Between the boring pottery classes, confusing crochet lessons, and overly perky counselors, Kat is sure that this is going to be the worst week ever. Until someone goes missing! A storm blows in and before they know it, Kat and the rest of her campers will have to utilize every crafty tool they’ve got in order to survive the night.
