History
Youth theatre productions were initiated in 2001 by Sandy Machette. For the first three years, a single show was produced which featured youngsters of all ages. In 2004, separate Drama Camps were held for youngsters of various age groups…. generally pre-teens and teenagers. Each group presented their own play.
Sandy Machette was the sole director of all Drama Camp presentations through 2010.
Since 2010 Pinewood Players has employed a number of talented Drama Camp Administrators to carry on the mission of the program. In 2018 the camp reverted to a single 3 week long camp open to children ages 7 through 18 years of age.
