This summer, we are excited to host a Middle School Theatre Camp from May 26–29, 2026, where students will dive into the fast-paced, creative world of theatre. In just four days, participants will work together to bring a full production to life from start to finish. Students will rotate through key areas of theatre including acting, stage presence, and character development, while also getting hands-on experience with technical elements like lighting, sound, and basic stage design. This camp is designed to give students a well-rounded understanding of what it takes to make a production happen both on stage and behind the scenes. The week will move quickly, but that is part of the excitement. Students will collaborate, take creative risks, and build confidence as they rehearse and refine their roles. By the end of the camp, they will perform a complete play, showcasing everything they have learned in just four days. Whether students are brand new to theatre or already love being on stage, this camp is all about creativity, teamwork, and the thrill of putting on a show together.
