We believe that a continuing education in the arts for people of all ages is incredibly important. Our goal is to offer a variety of classes, and to expand that programming as much as possible.

F.A.Q
Q. What does my student need to bring to the camp?
A. All they need is a water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and clothes they can move in. All other materials will be provided, including a script and costume for the performance.
Q. What is the schedule?
A. We will be finalizing the schedule as we get a bit closer, but you can take a look at our preliminary schedule HERE.
Q. What if we can’t make it to all the rehearsals?
A. Summer is a busy time of year, and your student is absolutely still welcome to attend the camp even if some rehearsals get missed. If we know about absences in advance, we will do everything we can to make sure they stay caught up with blocking, choreography, etc. We want everyone to have a great experience!
Q. Is there a discount for multiple siblings?
A. There is not a multiple-sibling discount. We have elected to keep our prices as low as possible to remain as accessible as we can.
Q. Can I come in and watch the camp?
A. Our space is limited, so we do ask folks to only be there at drop off and pick up. If your child has special needs that require something extra, just let us know. T
Q. How do we get tickets to the performances?
A. Tickets to the four performances will be available before the camp begins, and those who are signed up will receive an email with the link. Our seating capacity is fairly limited (20 seats), so we do recommend getting only a few tickets per family at first, so make sure everyone gets an opportunity to see their student perform. General admission is $10, and VIP tickets, which include a drink and artisanal chocolates, are $20.
