FULL-DAY SUMMER CURRICULUMS: Our SUMMERSTOCK (Grade 6 to 12) and SUMMERSTOCK JUNIOR (Grade K to 5) programs are full-day, conservatory-style programs where students hone creative, performance and social skills. No previous experience is required and registration is on a first come, first serve basis. There are four separate, two-week sessions that run Monday thru Friday. Under normal conditions, our programs can accommodate a maximum of 40 students each session. Students are then divided into age-appropriate groups for class rotations between three instructors, each specializing in their own area of study. A lunch and snack break will be part of the daily schedule. Students will need to bring their own lunch/snack and water bottles. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our maximum number of students will likely be significantly reduced. We will be accepting reservations with a $50 deposit for the first 20 students in each two-week program.
Each SUMMERSTOCK and SUMMERSTOCK JUNIOR session culminates in a showcase of student work. (This summer, our showcases will likely be recorded as opposed to live performances.)
Tentative dates for each program are listed below. These dates may be subject to change depending on COVID-19 guidelines. In the event that our programs must run virtually this summer, the program times will also be subject to change:
