For the aspiring artist in your family, our new Summer Stageprogram is an intensive summer theatre program for youth (ages 7-15). Summer Stage runs as a day camp, 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday at the theatre (1233 Wellington St. West).
As a focused summer theatre program for youth, Summer Stage aims to create a fun and safe learning environment that fosters the joy of theatre in young people through the fundamentals of storytelling and imagination. Over the course of each session, students will work alongside their instructor(s) and their classmates to cast, produce, and rehearse a show that will be presented on the final Friday of the session.
Students will learn, create, and explore the fundamentals of theatre. Each participant will build their individual knowledge of theatre while also working collaboratively with others to achieve a collective goal.
