“Hakuna Matata… What a wonderful phrase!” Disney’s The Lion King has captivated the imaginations of audiences around the world — and now you can be part of the adventure! The African savannah comes to life in this classic musical including lovable characters Simba, Rafiki, Pumba, Timone and more. Journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again as we learn “we’re all connected in the great circle of life.” Over three weeks, work as an ensemble to learn a wide range of theatrical skills and put together a full production of this heartwarming, coming-of-age story. Learn acting, singing, dance and more along the way.

Classes Include: Acting, Improvisation, Singing, Dancing, Theatre Crafts, and Rehearsal and Performance

*There will be no camp on June 20 in observance of Juneteenth.

This process-based performance program is for the theatre enthusiast who wants to experience the production of a play from beginning to end. During each full-day camp session, campers will take technique and special skills classes and rehearse a play to be performed with limited sets and costumes for friends and family at the end of the week. Performance Academy programs include three-week, two-week and one-week full-day camps.

We emphasize the hands-on, educational experience of performance and do not require an audition to enter the program. Roles will be assigned on the first or second day of camp and lead roles may be double cast to increase the learning experience for student performers. Performers will be organized by age for classes and small group rehearsals. Space is limited to a first-come, first-served basis.
