Camper Podcast! - Behind the Scenes of "Wicked" at Birch Trail

It's a "Wicked" Good Time: A Camper-Led Look at the Summer Musical

Have you ever wondered what goes into making the magic of the Birch Trail camp play? This week, we’re handing the microphone over to the campers themselves for a special episode that takes you behind the curtain of this summer's blockbuster production: the musical Wicked!

From nerve-wracking auditions to the thrill of landing a lead role, the cast members share their personal stories of hard work, friendship, and newfound confidence. This is a fantastic opportunity for parents to hear directly from the campers about how activities like the camp play help them grow, overcome challenges, and support one another.

Join our camper hosts as they interview the stars of the show and explore:

• The Audition Process: Hear a firsthand story about losing your voice right before a big audition and finding the courage to go for it anyway!
• Building Confidence: The campers playing Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero, and Nessarose share how they tackle the challenges of memorizing lines, playing new character types, and taking center stage.
• Teamwork in Action: Discover how campers collaborate in the "Pixley" theater to create everything from costumes to props, making the show a true team effort.
• Favorite Moments: The cast shares their favorite songs and scenes from Wicked (get ready to hear a line from "Popular"!).
• Meet the Cast: Stick around to the end as the hosts proudly read the entire cast list for this summer's production of Wicked.

Tune in to this special episode to celebrate the incredible talent, dedication, and spirit of the Birch Trail campers!
