MAIN STAGE PROGRAM
ACADEMY
Summer Stock Stage maintains the highest
caliber of staff as professional local artists
pass on their talents and expertise to the
next generation of young artists in the
community.
Summer Stock Stage Academy is a three-week
summer camp for students entering grades
2-8. Academy students learn about the broader
world of musical theater and for the first two
weeks meet daily with the artistic staff to learn
music and choreography. The third week is
“tech week” and Academy members join main
stage cast members in the spotlight performing
small roles in the musical theater productions.
Performances are weekday evenings and
weekend afternoon and evenings.
