CAMPS
Kids and teens from all interests and abilities have a variety of opportunities to connect with and learn from world-class theater professionals both on and off the stage.
Embrace your spark and run with it!
Our camps ignite students’ imaginations through the collaborative process of theatre, empower them as creative thinkers, and support their development as artists and young adults. While experience in theatre is not required, all three camps are considered intensives, meaning students who are committed to learning about theatre and willing to work, play, and collaborate for 8 hours a day will get the most out of our camps.
In addition to performance-focused camps, our popular, one-of-a-kind technical theatre intensive is a unique chance for aspiring artists who are eager to participate in theatre but who may prefer working behind the scenes.
Students leave our instruction equipped with a strong foundation of acting and production skills along with practical training, which may include improv, vocal health, on-camera acting experience, and set design.
Payment plans and scholarships are available. To set up a payment plan or to apply for a scholarship, please contact our Education Department.
