Join us, intrepid viewer, for the experience that is Tales from Camp Strangewood. Originally livestreamed in the summer of 2020, each installment of this anthology was helmed by its own playwright, director, and team of actors. These chilling tales follow the eclectic inhabitants of Camp Strangewood, as they encounter circumstances on the very edge of reality on the same particularly strange night.
This project was the recipient of a 2020 Transformative Public Art Grant from the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.​
