How WE’RE DIFFERENT from other camps!!
-
Low student-staff ratio! We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs well-staffed with a low student-staff ratio.
-
We produce top notch youth theatre and build a strong community. We train our actors to work as a team. Ensemble work accompanies all the work we do and the students thrive on it!
-
Professional theatre staff. Our teachers are theatre professionals with professional performance experience as well as a B.A. and/or M.A. in theatre. All our teachers are trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.
-
We are an equal opportunity program and there are no student “stars”!
Final Performances: Performances will be live in person or recorded for re-broadcast. Final decision will be made based on latest state guidelines regarding group gatherings. Parents will be emailed one week prior to last day of camp.
Cancellation Policy: No cancellations after April 16. Partial credit of deposit may be issued toward future programming in the case of medical emergencies.
