June 7–25
Open to students ages 8–18 (rising 3rd–12th graders), ACTing Up offers a supportive and energizing environment for performers and creators at every level.
Join us for three exciting weeks exploring the world of theatre—from acting, singing, and storytelling to design, production, and backstage magic. Guided by professional teaching artists, students will build skills, make new friends, collaborate with their peers, and discover new ways to express their creativity.
EARLY BIRD REGSITRATION OPEN THROUGH 10/18!
Summer Camps
July 6--31
July Summer Camps invite young artists ages 8–14 to spend one creative week exploring theatre through imagination, storytelling, and performance. Each camp focuses on a different area—from musical theatre to devising original work—offering a fun, supportive environment where students build skills, collaborate as an ensemble, and grow in confidence.
Each week concludes with a short sharing for family and friends.
Summer Studio
July 6--31
July Summer Studio offers high school students (ages 15–18) focused, pre-professional training through one-week intensives in performance and audition technique. Led by ACT’s co-leaders, Coburn Goss and Jeremy Williams, with guest artist Lauren Ashley Bishop, each week explores a different area of the craft—from improvisation and musical theatre to monologues and the business of the industry.
Students may enroll in individual weeks or participate in the full series to build skills, confidence, and preparation for college and professional pathways.
