2024 Summer Camps Bring Storybooks to the Stage!
Learning doesn’t have to stop just because it’s summertime! Theatre camps are a great way for youth to explore literature in a fun and creative way.
Led by our team of professional directors, students will transform into their favorite characters and learn essential life skills (known as the NTPA 10 Characters) as they bring popular stories to life on stage. With summer learning opportunities for ages 5 to 18, there’s a spot for everyone in our upcoming camps or productions.
Week-long camps are available in half-day and full-day options for ages 5-14 and two-week productions are available for all grades, K-12! Each one-week camp has a different theme based on popular children’s stories like Descendants, Frozen, and Harry Potter. There are a dozen options for two-week productions, and there’s truly something for all ages, from Frozen Kids to Hair!
Plus, it’s the perfect time to try out a theatre program at NTPA, because new students get 25% off their first camp or production! Programs are available at NTPA’s Plano, Fairview, Frisco, Dallas, and Southlake locations all summer long.
So pick your week (or weeks) and sign up today! Summer camps fill up fast, so reserve your spot TODAY while you still can.
