You will also rehearse and perform a review style show, which families are invited to attend. You will earn three undergraduate college credits while focusing entirely on your passion and experience a taste of what it is like to live on a college campus. Plan to arrive on Sunday, July 12 (2:00pm-4:30pm) with coursework occurring Monday, July 13 through Friday, July 31, 2026.

"Through this program, I learned how to balance my life as a performer and a human being. I rediscovered confidence in my material and was taught how to approach material in new and exciting ways. I think I've found a lot more truth in my work as a theater artist and found out how to relate to characters in a way I hadn't been able to previously."
