By the end of camp, your child will be beaming with confidence and newly learned skills!

Are there Auditions?

  • Yes, but we do not hold auditions for participation in our summer programs. As long as there is availability within a session, all families are welcome to register. On the first day, we will hold low stakes role placements in order to help us figure out the best way to feature each camper and set them up for success. Everyone who registers is guaranteed a part. Auditions materials will come from the shows and will be posted the beginning of May.

How are the days Structured?

  • We keep your children busy! Putting together a full show in 2 weeks takes quite a bit of planning and efficiency. We run a round-robin model where our teaching artists divide and conquer in the areas of acting, dance, and music. At the end of every day, we share-out what we learn and begin piecing the show together. Your child will be proud to share all they accomplished by the end of each day.
