ABOUT THE COMPANY

At Main stages, our mission is to deliver transformative experiences by bringing energy and purpose to everything we do. Our vision is a world that laughs louder, moves more, and connects deeper. Main stages creates interactive performances, workshops, and programs that kids love and educators trust. Main stages acts as a staffing agency, we do not determine pay and are not staff's direct employer.

This is a well-established camp located in the Midwest which pulls kids from across the nation. Camp GUCI is part of a network of camps called URJ, which are leaders in developing worthwhile, impactful communities to engage both campers and staff alike. This camp and Main stages have worked together for years, with Main stages providing a Theater Director who directs two shows throughout the course of the summer and has other supervisory responsibilities including helping to plan specialty days and other camp-wide creative events.
