Adventures of a Comic Book Artist

(Last Update: 20:35 PDT 10 May 2023 )

This production by West End Studio Theater on 17-18 August 2007 was the culmination of a two-week camp (10 3-hour days). The cast of 13 kids was a little small, so they had to cut some of the script. They played it as straight drama, though the original script was for a musical. (The script can be ordered from Pioneer Drama Service, and their website has short clips from the songs.)

The pictures below have links to larger images—they came out a bit dark, because of the lighting, though not as much correction was needed as for the previous (Harry Potter) play.
