Camden Civic Theatre’s 2011 season is in full swing. The rehearsal hall is echoing with the sounds of pirate dueling and lost boys’ antics in Neverland. Meanwhile, pre-production for melodramatic villiany is picking up stream as the train readies at the platform before heading to the crossroads. But the journey won’t end there! Time to start making plans for the next great adventure!
