March Break Camp
Fabulous Green Roof Theatre Camp with Dan Fewings.
Ages 6 to 16
This weeklong camp is a high energy, action packed adventure that encourages children to develop new skills and have fun in a supported and authentic theatre environment. We encourage children to participate in the way that feels best for them, enabling them to stretch creatively and use their imaginations. We round off the week with a performance for friends and family.
Cost for each camp is $170. (Members $160)
We strive to make our camps accessible for all. We have ways to make camp more affordable, with access to a subsidy program* and family discount rates. Wherever we can, we will work with your family to overcome other barriers to your child’s participation. Please call us or email admin@markethall.org and let us know how we can help.
About Fabulous Green Roof Theatre camps
Dan Fewings has worked in children’s theatre since his graduation from Theatre Studies at Niagara College Theatre School in the 1970s. He has worked extensively as a clown, a musician, and is currently in his 26th year of teaching. He teaches Drama, Musical Theatre and guitar at Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School.
In 1993, he converted a barn on the property he rented into a massive theatre space and The Fabulous Green Roof Theatre Workshops were born in a big barn that had the greenest roof he’d ever seen.
For over 20 years now Dan has directed his camp to hundreds of kids. Kids love the camps and parents often tell us the camps were the highlight of their son’s or daughter’s summer. In addition to helping students develop their confidence and performance abilities, The Fabulous Green Roof Theatre Workshops challenge students to be kind to themselves and others and to have fun while focusing on the common goal of putting a great ensemble show together. “Essentially” says Fewings, “we become a small theatre troupe in a week”.
Every week is unique, as it’s the kid’s ideas and interests that drive the show ….and you will be amazed at what Dan helps your child achieve in a week.
Cooperation, respect, and support are the core values of the camps at Market Hall and every child leaves their week with Dan at the Fabulous Green Roof Theatre Camp with a big smile on their face. We hope you will too, when you come to the Market Hall on Friday afternoon for the performance.

About the Hall
Market Hall has just reopened after a $9 million renovation which has restored the exterior façade, installed 2 new elevators, improved the entranceway and retrofitted a first class theatre on the second storey.
It is a flexible configuration well suited to our theatre workshop program, offering a large open floor space, raked theatre seating, professional lighting and sound equipment, lots of daylight through a magnificent bank of 12 feet windows and a very efficient air conditioning system.
