SYNOPSIS
Forever Young is a nostalgic story centered on a beloved summer camp facing imminent sale. When elderly owners Margaret and Dorothy plan to sell the run-down property to tech giant Boom Chicka Boom, a group of devoted former campers known as the "Far Out Five" organize a weekend reunion to save their cherished institution. The reunion brings together alumni spanning different generations, rekindling old friendships, rivalries, and romances. In an epic rematch of old colour war feuds, the former campers work to restore the grounds, plan a talent show, and search for a legendary treasure. Through it all, these campers-at-heart rediscover the connections that made their summer experiences so special. The show explores how shared memories can bridge time, and how the places of our youth continue to shape who we become.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Camp is such a special place full of joy, friendship, and laughter - much like this show! A hilarious “campy” comedy, all about the joys of re-discovering our younger selves out in the beauty of nature. Creating this show with this passionate group of volunteers, who care so much about the Segal Centre and supporting the arts, has been an absolute pleasure. I am forever grateful to the incredible team behind the scenes who made this show so campy and yet so touching.
