Some face painting and dress up are included in our weekly curriculum. To ensure that our students get a real theater experience, each session culminates in a final evening performance at our theater with costumes and stage lights galore!!

How WE'RE DIFFERENT from other camps!!

  • We don’t try to do it all! We offer quality youth theater programs and we do it well because that’s all that we do! Our teachers are first and foremost teachers trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.

  • Our shows are unique! We train our students to think outside the box by encouraging them to think beyond what they see. We introduce the concepts of magical realism, surrealism, play, and pantomime.

  • Low student-teacher ratio of 8:1! We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs well-staffed with a low student-teacher ratio.

  • Building a strong non-competitive community is our priority. Sharing circles, trust activities, ensemble work and a sense of ritual accompany all the work we do and the students thrive on it!
