Activity Spotlight: Stages Theatre Company 🎭

Stages Theatre Company’s summer theatre workshops are designed as “pick-your-week” theatre camps for ages 3 through Grade 12, and taught by professional teaching artists, with a big emphasis on kids getting to sing, dance, act, play, and build confidence while making friends. The summer menu includes everything from Mini Workshops for ages 3–4 to full-day and half-day options for older kids that use Stages’ “Actor Tools” (body, voice, imagination) in themed sessions.

A standout within their summer lineup is C.A.S.T. Summer Showtime, an extension of Stages’ year-round C.A.S.T. (Creative, Accepting, Sensory-Friendly Theatre) program for youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other sensory sensitivities.

This gives camps the great responsibility of guiding campers and helping them grow into the adults of tomorrow. The people they meet there will impact them, especially in their emotional and social development.
