Our summer session workshops are ideal for young performers interested in a fast-paced, supportive, and creative environment lead by experienced theatre professionals and educators.
Providing an opportunity to build upon the skills and confidence necessary for success in mainstage productions, our leveled curriculum offers performers training appropriate to their age and ability. In addition to rehearsing a musical to be presented at the culmination of their session, performers will take classes intended to expand their skills.
Participants will leave Summer Session with improved skills in acting, singing, and dancing, a better understanding of the audition and rehearsal process, and the kind of confidence that comes from socializing with like-minded friends while working together to create something to be proud of!
Important Note:
We are so excited to return to in-person summer sessions! To do so safely, please note that all summer session-related activities (classes, rehearsals, performances, etc.) will be held outside on church property.

Toys don’t automatically know how to be the perfect plaything for their future owners; they have to learn – at Toy Camp! Ted E. Bear, Princess Ann, Jig and Saw, and all of their friends have come to Toy Camp in hopes of graduating, earning their price tags, and attaining the privilege of being sold in a toy store.

It’s just another sunny day at Avalon Beach until Mom and Pop announce they’re selling The Shack, their beloved surf shop and the local teen hangout. The snobby developers from The Cove want Avalon’s stretch of sand – for a parking lot! All of the loyal Avalon kids are determined not to let it happen, entering a local surf contest to vie for prize money that will keep The Shack’s doors open, but the crowd from The Cove will do anything to stop them.
