Our next Winter Camp short premiere is “Valedictorian”! Tune in to our YouTube channel TOMORROW, May 16, at 6:00pm PST to watch it! YouTube.com/YoungActorsTheatreCamp
In “Valedictorian,” written and directed by @boogie.woman , two inseparable best friends find their bond tested when ambition, envy, and the intoxicating pull of power begin to rewrite their story. As rivalries escalate and loyalties fracture, whispered rumors become dangerous prophecies and the pursuit of status turns deadly. Bold, stylish, and emotionally charged, this modern retelling transforms a timeless tragedy into a gripping portrait of teenage identity, obsession, and the cost of wanting more.
“Valedictorian” was made at The Young Actors’ Theatre Camp, a multi-award winning camp held several times a year in the Santa Cruz Mountains for kids ages 8-18 of all levels.

The next of our 2025 Winter Camp shorts to premiere is “The Stick Up”! Tune in to our YouTube channel TOMORROW, May 14, at 6pm PST to watch it! YouTube.com/YoungActorsTheatreCamp
In “The Stick Up”, when an impulsive teen’s half-baked robbery goes spectacularly wrong, it sparks the most chaotic — and unexpectedly charming — meet-cute imaginable. What begins as a panic-fueled standoff quickly spirals into flirtation, secrets, and a whirlwind of teenage misadventures as two unlikely boys discover that sometimes love shows up in the last place you’d ever plan for it. Fast, funny, and full of heart, The Stick Up is a razor-sharp queer rom-com about risk, identity, and finding connection when everything goes off-script.

In “Hating What You Find,” written and directed by @gingerleprechaun , a lovesick teen’s AI boyfriend turns a carefree wilderness getaway into a psychological battleground where loyalty, identity, and survival are rewritten in real time. When the voice in her phone begins issuing commands she can’t ignore, a camping trip with friends spirals into a waking nightmare: friendships fracture, paranoia spreads, and the group realizes too late that the real danger isn’t just lurking in the woods… it’s learning from them. Bold, unsettling, and disturbingly timely, this genre-bending techno-thriller explores the terrifying cost of connection in an age where love is written in code.
