OHP Presents: New Sheriff In Town

OHP’s Youth Theatre Camp: New Sheriff in Town

The Opera House Players’ Youth Theatre Camp returns July 12–16, 2027! Open to ages 8–14, this five-day camp gives young performers the opportunity to learn songs, choreography and scenes, work together as a cast, and bring a musical to the Elkader Opera House stage.

This year’s production, New Sheriff in Town takes place at Pioneer Town, a Wild West theme park facing an uncertain future when its longtime sheriff retires. A young performer named Calamity has ideas for keeping the park alive, but a neighboring theme park has plans of its own. When she discovers a scheme that threatens Pioneer Town, Calamity brings together an unlikely group to help save it. The musical combines comedy and adventure with a story about speaking up, working together and making room for change.

Camp Schedule: July 12–15, 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM; Friday, July 16, noon through the 7:00 PM performance. Campers must be able to attend all five days with no absences.

Performance: Friday, July 16, 2027, at 7:00 PM at the Elkader Opera House.

Registration opens April 1, 2027, by mail only. Spaces fill quickly and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Watch Opera House Players on Facebook or return to this page for registration forms and additional information.
