Theater Camp (Ages 7-11)
Starland Summer Theatre is BACK!  Last year we had a wonderful time performing High School Musical 2 and Bye Bye Birdie. This year we are presenting family favorites Annie and Fiddler on the Roof! Why not join both sessions!

Starland Summer Theatre offers two choices for summer camp.  Students who enroll half-day will work on the play, rehearsing music, acting and all the fun of a full show and be picked up after lunch.   
Those who stay full-day will dive into advanced theater programs in the afternoon including puppetry, set building, directing and an audition workshop.
 
All students are invited to join us on field trips (half-day will pay per-trip, full day includes field trips). We have two field trips per session plus trips to the water park every Friday. One will be purely fun, and the second will include a performance theme (see a play, meet with professional actors, etc.) .
 
If you are looking for the North Shore's most comprehensive and child-based performance program, look no further: Starland is your summer theater destination!
