Current Projects
2023 Season
Please note: Due to the impact of Typhoon Mawar we have temporarily paused operations as most of our leadership is without access to power. If you applied to any of our open applications (voice actor, summer camp, and crew callout) prior to the storm, we will be reaching out in the coming days to update you on how we will be proceeding with the season.
Summer Theatre Camp
Breaking Wave Theatre Company is excited to announce our first Summer Theatre Camp, coming this June 12, 2023 - July 14, 2023.
During this five week camp, campers will explore and learn about theatre under camp director Dr. Troy McVey and a staff of Breaking Wave members and UOG Theatre alumni and students.
While engaging in these lessons, the campers will get real experience in putting on a staged production as we will also be rehearsing with them to stage a production of Stellaluna and Other Tales with Book and Lyrics by Allyn Cardarelli and Music by Steve Goers, Based upon the works of Janell Cannon.
This will allow the campers to not only learn about the arts, but to apply what they learn through a real production. Every camper will have the opportunity to be involved either as an actor or a crew member, depending on their preferences. The camp will conclude with open to the public performances on July 13 and July 14.
Camp will be at the UOG Fine Arts Theatre from June 12 - July 14, 2023, with campers meeting every Monday - Friday from 1 PM - 5 PM. The camp is free, but space is limited so participants will have spots secured on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Applications are now closed. To apply to be on the camper waiting list and for further information, please fill out this form.

Oral Storytelling Project
The Oral Storytelling Project began in the Summer of 2022 with workshops and oral storytelling interviews. The work in progress is a Collective of CHamoru stories by Curtis J. Jewell, Eddie Acfalle Jr., Jayna Lizama, Joni Aguon, & Mia Alvarez, with the facilitation, direction, and editing of Jayna Shoda Meyer and Joyce Torres.
As a part of our development process, we are conducated a Zoom Staged Reading to get feedback, in hopes of refining the script so it is ready for future productions.
The reading will be collection of select pieces born as a result of this 8 month long creation process. It is a rough draft, a living script, and it will continue to grow and evolve. We will continue working on the script, with the hopes of co-producing it with UOG Theatre this Fall 2023.
We are Here for You
Some of our work focuses on exploring serious issues relating to mental health, substance abuse, and more. We understand that the feelings brought upon through this exploration may not always end after the curtain closes.

BLACK LIVES MATTER
We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and we will remain committed to doing our part in the fight against racial injustice. We believe in the power of using the arts to amplify marginalized voices, and we will continue to highlight these stories in our work. For more ways you can support the BLM movement, click here.
