Campers will explore acting, singing, dancing, and more, all taught by professional performers who are in residence from across the country as part of our summer mainstage season. It’s a unique opportunity to learn directly from working artists in a supportive, creative environment.

As part of the week’s experience, campers will also attend our IMPACT Fairytale Theatre performance on Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM, followed by a mainstage matinee at 2:00 PM, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at professional theatre in action.

Local youth auditions for A CHRISTMAS CAROL have been rescheduled to Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 6:30 PM. Youth performers, ages 8 – 16, do not need to prepare anything. When you arrive, we will have you (and a parent) fill out a form. Please feel free to bring a resume if you have one (not required). During the audition, we will teach music to the group and each performer will need to sing solo. We will also do “cold readings,” which means we will give you a page of script and ask you to read for different characters. Performers will be released as we finish with them. Please note, we are only looking for 3 – 5 performers, so not everyone will get cast, however, this is an excellent opportunity to gain important auditioning experience, even if you don’t get cast in the show this year.

VERY IMPORTANT: Our professional shows are performed by adult performers mostly from NYC. The professional schedule is very different from a community or school show schedule. We rehearse for only 2 weeks, almost every day, from November 29 to December 11. Local children would only be called to rehearsals when needed, which would not take place during school hours, however, in a professional schedule, we often can’t confirm the exact times until we start the process and see how far we get each day. So any youth performer auditioning would need to be available when we need them during those two weeks.

Additionally, while public performances are December 12 through 14 and 19 through 21, there are 2 – 3 student matinees which would require youth performers to miss school. One is on Friday, December 12 at 10:00 AM, another is Wednesday, December 17 at 10:00 AM. Thursday, December 18 at 10 AM is a possible third student matinee, based on interest. We won’t know for sure until tech week.
