What your child’s day will look like
Ready to tackle the works of William Shakespeare? Our Summer Shakespeare Intensive gives young performers the opportunity to rehearse and perform scenes from his most iconic plays AND their famous modern-day adaptations like Aida, West Side Story, Lion King, and more! Campers will learn the foundations of BOTH classical and musical theatre while experiencing the thrill of an intensive audition and rehearsal process. Throughout the week, campers will participate in Shakespeare 101 (a crash course in classical acting), vocal coaching, choreography sessions, all in preparation for their final performance on the last day of camp. Don’t worry – it’s not all work and no play here at Stages! We take advantage of the fun and freedom of summer, ensuring campers have time outside each day as well as free play (and rest). They’ll also be given the chance to discover what goes on “behind the scenes” helping to create costume pieces, sets, and props that they'll use in their final performance! BEST OF ALL? Our camps are run by professional teaching artists with years of experience on professional stages as well as in the classroom so you can drop-off feeling confident that your child will be in good hands. If your child is ready to work hard, have fun, and take their talent to the next level, Summer at Stages is for you! Stages is committed to making our camps accessible for all families.

It was a great experience overall, but Tech week being the week before Christmas was absolutely brutal for our entire family. The Tech week rehearsals were very late for school nights, our daughter was utterly exhausted with so many late nights in one week it really was not good for her physical or mental health. That said she loved doing it, and begged to sign up again.
