With their dedicated and highly skilled team, Playhouse 1960 has been offering summer camps that blend fun, learning, and a whole lot of stage action, providing an ideal platform for kids to discover, hone, and exhibit their talents.

Their immersive two-week camp productions are carefully designed to ensure that young theater enthusiasts get a taste of the complete process of putting together a theater production. From auditioning for roles, understanding character nuances, learning about set and costume design, to finally showcasing their talent in two public performances, Playhouse 1960's camps serve as a 360-degree theater workshop.
