Gearing up for summer 2026!
Session 1: June 29-July 10
The Littles (children who have completed 1st & 2nd grades) 9am-12pm
The Middle-Schoolers (children who have completed 5th-7th grades) 2pm-5pm
Session 2 July 13-24

The Young Adults (children who have completed 8th-12th grades) 2pm-5pm
​
During the age-divided, 2-week sessions, children are introduced to theater skills such as acting fundamentals, learning to speak on stage, using drama exercises by playing theater games, see the behind-the-scenes work, learn to work in peer groups, and meet new friends.
​
Learning about the performing arts can teach important skills in life, such as self-confidence, cooperation, self-discipline, and concentration. Imagination is encouraged!
​
We keep the registration fee affordable at $25 to make it possible for all children to attend. Scholarships are available thanks to the generosity of our donors. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit so your donation is tax deductible.
The royalty - free play performed by our 8th-12th Grade Group in our 2025 season (“Robin Hood and the Wedding of Doom” By: David Neilsen) is part of a fantastic collection of plays for kids and teens on Drama Notebook.
