This summer, young artists will explore theatre through the lens of nature. Expect theatre games, movement, voice work, and collaborative storytelling inspired by the outdoors. We’ll build soundscapes, create physical characters, and transform the outside world into a living, breathing stage full of stories.

Camp runs Monday through Friday, 9am–3pm. Campers should bring a lunch and snacks and be ready to move. Think comfortable clothes and shoes for both outdoor exploration and indoor (air-conditioned) work.

MoB camps are all about process, creativity, and community. Every student has a voice here.

Open to ages 9–14 (flexibility for younger students with prior experience)
Limited spots available

Scotopia Shorts was MoB Theatre’s annual 10 minute play tradition reimagined for Scotopia 2026.
This year the lineup dove headfirst into the festival’s theme of water, with fluid worlds, deep questions, and work that refused to stay in one lane. The artists, the crews, and the audiences all got pulled under.
We are grateful for every person who showed up, came back, or discovered us for the first time. Scotopia 2027 is already on the horizon. More festival photo dumps coming soon!

Personally, I am EXCITED about this script. MoB Theatre is proud to present Negro Leather Shoes from writer, Olga El. This subversive, neo-folktale, boldly asks questions about race, privilege, and the consequences of repeating history. Catch a world premier reading of this incredible work tonight at Jengo’s Playhouse at 7pm. Stick around after to get down with Sheme of Gold for some unique, hip-hop, fusion tunes.

Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit! Is a MoB commissioned piece written by Mary McCallum. Inspired by the writings of the late Wilmington scholar, Larry Reni Thomas, Rabbit! shares a story from the night of the events surrounding the Wilmington 10. It’s a fast paced, heated, historical fiction that puts audiences in the room with those affected most closely by this understated, historical event. Learn a little about your community, and settle into the story with hip hop fusion music from local musicians Sheme of Gold, and Tan Sanders.

Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit! will be read at Jengo’s Playhouse at 7pm tonight, 3/19. See you there! Tickets at door or find them at mobtheatre.com/scotopia
