“We are thrilled to open our doors and welcome students back to New Stage Theatre for in-person summer camps!” said Education Director Sharon Miles. “First Stages and Broadway Jr. have been pivotal in the growth of youth artists for over a decade. Students will work beside their peers to develop skills in acting, singing, and dance and have a great time in the process. We will be unpacking the lessons from this season for years to come, but we know that theatre enhances our quality of life. We hope to see you this summer!”

The camps incorporate more than 100 hours of instruction by theatre professionals with a combined 100 years of professional theatre experience. Coupled with the opportunity to perform on the main stage of a professional theatre, the New Stage Theatre Summer Camp Series is a “can’t miss” event for your aspiring actors.
