The Story...
The ocean floor is filled with the rarest of creatures, but none are as rare as gnarbles. Their fins are small, their tails are floppy, and they have never strayed far from their homes…until now. Journey of the Noble Gnarble is a story of a little gnarble with a big dream, who tries to make it to the surface of the sea despite all the challenges along the way.

Camp Instructor
Hey, my name is Joanna Heram
Working with kids WHILE doing theatre is something I truly enjoy about OWT Summer Camps and I hope you'll join me! Fun facts about me: I have been teaching & directing theatre for 8 years, Interned with Overshadowed Theatrical Productions in Chicagoland in 2022, and am an auntie 11 times over. This will be my fourth year of OWT summer camps! Theatre is SO much more than just acting or tech- it's an environment where participants are learning skills that will translate to real life situations and relationships. I am honored that I get to be a part of facilitating growth in your children during these camps.

Teen Assistants
Teen Assistants - a key player at camp
The teen assistants will be aiding the instructor and campers in a variety of ways, while being mentored through the realm of technical and administrative theatre. Their help is essential, yet the instructor is working with and coaching them too. It is more than kid wrangling, its an introduction to the production side of theatre!
