“Encore’s teaching artists bring professional excellence and passion for theatre to every class they teach. I love watching the final sharings for our classes because I get to witness the growing self-confidence and joy in each child.” — Sara Duke, Encore Stage & Studio Executive Director

Fun with Pete the Cat (Ages 3-5)
Pete is one cool cat, with his groovy buttons and white shoes. He doesn’t let anything slow him down and he never gives up. He just keeps singing his song while moving forward. With Pete’s groovy help, along with our classmates, we’ll learn about important character traits, such as courage, enthusiasm, honesty, patience, and perseverance.
Broadway Kids: Classic
“Cheer Up Charlie,” we’ve got more where that came from! “You Can’t Stop the Beat” as we sing and dance our way through some of Broadway’s biggest hits. This camp is the one for you if you “Can’t Stand Still!”
Villains and Their Descendants (Ages 8-12)
Does the apple fall far from the tree? The answer is up to you in this evilly delightful new camp. Collaborate with your fellow campers to create new scenarios starring your favorite villains and their descendants. What happens next? That’s up to you!

Get on your game face and go for the gold! You and your classmates will compete in a series of games designed to test your theatre skills. With fun events like costume relays, trivia tournaments, and improv challenges, everyone is sure to win!
Movie Mash-Up (Ages 8-12)
What would happen if Elsa and Thor took a road trip? Or if Pikachu and Nancy Drew had to team up to solve a mystery? The possibilities are endless and the plot is up to you! Collaborate with your fellow campers to bring famous movie characters to life in new, creative, and unexpected situations.
Stage Door Dance (Ages 11-15)
As the camp builds towards public performances of a fully-staged musical, you’ll be challenged to fully engage your creativity, to develop a memorable character, and to work as part of a team while gaining valuable stage experience.
