Step into the spotlight at Summer Stage, where the magic of musical theatre comes to life!
Campers dive into singing, dancing, and acting, guided by experienced actors and directors. Every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and shine—whether belting out show tunes, perfecting dance routines, or bringing characters to life.
More than just camp, Summer Stage is a creative community where talent flourishes, friendships form, and dreams take center stage. Join us for a summer of theatrical adventure!
Our musical theatre program gives campers in Grades 3-8 the unique opportunity to work on the three essential disciplines that make up musical theatre: singing, dancing, and acting. Staff include prominent local musical theatre actors and directors, who will provide a fantastic education in a fun and supportive environment. Campers will collaborate to prepare a cabaret-style performance for their final day of Summer Stage! They’ll have the chance to showcase both solo and group performances, celebrating their hard work and talent. Parents, family, and friends are all invited to enjoy the show!
Summer Stage Staff are working actors and directors with musical theatre experience. We are also welcoming current Broadway actors for masterclasses with our Campers.
