summer

​theatre camp

Our summer theatre CAMPS are our most popular workshop!

“It is a true joy for my wife and me to see our son coming home every day from the Playhouse bright eyed and full of confidence. I just have to say, it’s amazing to see the way you encourage confidence in all of the kids there, and how you help them to accomplish so much in so short a time. I'd estimate they learn as much in a week there as in about a half a year of public school. And I say that as a fan of public school :) Again, thank you so much for everything.” Henry H.
A spectacular all day theatre experience where young people make friends, expand their imagination, have fun, learn how to build an ensemble, all while working on creating an always astonishing original musical or play all their own. Students learn from professional artists in a supportive, dynamic atmosphere that nurtures self-confidence and creative self-expression.
Every Summer Theatre Session includes acting, dancing, singing, costumes, make-up, and of course a full fledged original production mounted on one of the Playhouse's two performance venues.
