 The Prince of Biroca was a play written by [[Mike Mattson]] and was originally performed as a regular Saturday evening Campfire skit sometime in the late '90s.  For a few years, Birch Rock used the old Riflery Range as an outdoor theater, and the Prince of Biroca was a highlight of those outdoor skits.
-During the summer of 2000, Mike Mattson started talking to [[Ryan Massey]] and Tyler Johnston about resurrecting that outdoor theater and bringing the Prince of Biroca back to camp once more.  It was not until the summer of 2001 that they decided to do it, and this time it would be a Sunday afternoon event, which meant it had to be a little longer.  Mike quickly fired out a skit and had all the staff on board.  Ryan and Mike prepped the old Riflery Range by weedwacking and clearing away some fallen brush.  Props and costumes were purchased or made, including a paper-mâché Dragon's head that Ryan, Mike, and Cole Penley put together.

 The skit had background music for slow motion battle scenes, low-budget special effects pyrotechnics acomplished with powder and sparklers for when the witches entered, and a water balloon in a bowl of ketchup used by a witch as a heart pulled out of a knight's chest.  The campers were told to act as the sickened townspeople between scenes and were handed M&Ms as a temporary medicine until the Prince could journey to the Spring of Longevity and bring its liquid back to the people.  By the end of the skit upon the Prince's slaying of the dragon a chest was found with the Spring of Longevity inside, which was cans of Sprite.
