THE GROWN-UPS
by Simon Henriques & Skylar Fox
presented by Dacha Theatre
Directed by Nick O'Leary
JULY 31 - AUG 1, 2025
Traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you're hopelessly not prepared.
Welcome to Camp Indigo Woods!
(The alumni aren’t thrilled about the name change, but it’s really way more inclusive this way!) The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Crack a cold one, 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.
Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, 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 this.
“The Grown-Ups is part satire, part scary story. [...] Doing theater this intimate is like doing close-up magic.”
—THE NEW YORK TIMES
“The spirit of community pervades the experience until the play’s chilling and beautiful final moments, performed in near-total darkness.”
—BROAD STREET REVIEW
“The Grown-Ups approaches theater as an act of radical intimacy.”
—TIMEOUT NEW YORK
