Sir Majesty, the Giant

Written by Rosa Palmeri
Directed by Rosa Palmeri & Shannon Ward

At the foot of Mount Vezzana, one of the great Dolomite peaks in Northern Italy, dwells Sir Majesty the Giant. Oft mistaken for a mountain himself, he’s managed to keep a quiet, private life, thanks to his three (mostly) loyal, (mostly) competent servants, who have kept him secret while completing any task he asks of them, no matter the size. But, oh no! Sir Majesty has fallen sick! Will he suffer in silence? Or is there a doctor brave enough to scrub in at his side? It’s up to his servants to decide!

Monday-Friday: 9am - 4pm
3 Performances at end of camp, Aug 22 at 7pm, Aug 23 at 2pm and 7pm

Melodrama 2025

NEYT’s most popular summer camp brings the merriment and madness! Join the NEYT Junior Company on July 3rd and July 5th for this pay-what-you-can Melodrama Double Feature! Fun for the whole family!

Murder a la Mode: The coffee’s hot, the hats are high fashion—and there’s a body in the broom closet. On the eve of Le Grand Chapeau, the world’s most glamorous hat convention, a sudden snowstorm traps a cast of eccentric guests inside the Chrome Cup Diner. When a sharp-tongued reporter turns up dead, suspicions swirl faster than gossip at a garden party. Now, a razor-witted inspector must untangle lies, alibis, and fashion crimes in this snappy, stylish whodunit.

The Badger: A bitter rivalry between two eateries comes to a head as they vie for the highly coveted Jimmy Mustache award for Coolest Restaurant Ever. The ragtag team of cooks at The Badger will have to think outside the box to beat their trendy nemesis, Flash in the Pan. Disguises, pranks, and pandemonium!

3 performances only: July 3rd at 7pm and July 5th at 2pm & 7pm.

An Enemy of the People

Directed by James Gelter
An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen explores what happens when an individual's scientific discovery conflicts with a collective's economic interests. When Dr. Stockmann discovers a significant health risk to the people of their beloved town, they become determined to spur their fellow citizens to take immediate action. But the unexpected resistance Stockmann meets from the townsfolk, including close friends and family, throws both the town's future and the doctor's community standing into peril.
