Summer Camps are available during four sessions throughout July and August for ages 4 to 18.  The one- and two-week, tax-deductible camps focus on fun theatre games for younger students and acting techniques for older students.  Many camps  end with a special performance for family and friends!

The Youth Performance Company (YPCo) is an elite training program for students ages 13-18.  Students audition in May to be invited to attend a two-week intensive session in August.  Students can then audition for the YPCo Fall musical which plays to the public and student matineesin the Studio Theatre.  

Production training is a new addition to the YPCo curriculum providing training with a professional stage manager and designer to students interested in working behind the scenes.

The Pre-Professional Training Program (PPTP) is for students wishing to enter the theatre profession. In this conservatory program students spend nine months studying acting, voice, movement and text, which culminate in a public performance on the Studio Theatre stage.
