Welcome to our theater
New. Dark. Witty. A masterful ensemble project awaits!
Directed by Chelsea Carll
Join a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker! Scary stories, problematic histories, arts and crafts, privilege, high school debate teams, racism, social media, puberty… it all comes up in this apocalyptic tale.
To appropriately deliver the storyline of The Grown-Ups, casting will follow the actor guidelines provided by the show's writers and Concord Theatricals as specified below.
LUKAS - (male presenting actor to portray early 20s, white) is PUMPED to be back this summer.
MAEVE - (female presenting actor to portray early 20s, white) is literally SOOOO JAZZED to be back this summer.
AIDAN - (male presenting actor to portray early 20s, white) has a LOT of new responsibilities this summer.
CASSIE - (female presenting actor to portray early 20s, not white*) is EXCITED to be joining this summer.
*The actor who originally created this role is half Korean, half white. Cassie should not be played by a white actor, but the authors, (and DFT), do not want to limit who can play the role beyond that.
The role of BECCA has already been cast.
This show will be experienced by audiences outdoors around a campfire in N. Scottsdale.

About the Show
The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for what lies ahead.
The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Gather around a campfire, have a laugh; make a s’more; tell a scary story. Figure out what you’re going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about...well, you’ve seen the news. I just got a push notification—
they’re getting closer.
