Musical Theatre Camp


YOUR CHILD HAS A STORY TO TELL!
ChiTheatreCamp doesn't just allow kids to sing and act, they build the confidence necessary to own the stage. This is a program for pre-professionals and theatre enthusiasts alike. With performance opportunities and the chance to work under industry professionals, each camper will develop and hone their acting skills. Through a curriculum rooted in the fundamentals of musical theatre, young actors will transition from students to artists. Each camper will find a community of supportive peers who are all building the agency, discipline, and creativity that stay with a child long after the final curtain call.
From the Director: As a teaching artist with over a decade of experience bringing musical theatre training to young people around the city and suburbs of Chicago, I’ve seen how theatre transforms each of my students in real time. At ChiTheatreCamp, my goal isn't just to produce a great show, it's to mentor the next generation of storytellers. In the writing room, at the piano, and on the stage, I’m dedicated to providing a space where your child feels like a real artist from day one.
