Summer Academy 2026

ACTing Up

June 8--26

ACTing Up 2026 invites young artists to spend three unforgettable weeks training, creating, and collaborating across three exciting program tracks:

  1. Musical Theatre 

  2. Acting for Stage & Film 

  3. Design & Production

 

Open to students ages 8–18 (rising 3rd–12th graders), with the Design & Production track limited to high school students ages 14+, ACTing Up offers a supportive and energizing environment for performers and creators at every level.

Summer Camps

July 6--31

July Summer Camps invite young artists ages 8–14 to spend one creative week exploring theatre through imagination, storytelling, and performance. Each camp focuses on a different area—from musical theatre to devising original work—offering a fun, supportive environment where students build skills, collaborate as an ensemble, and grow in confidence.

 

Each week concludes with a short sharing for family and friends.

Summer Studio

July 6--31

July Summer Studio offers high school  students (ages 15–18) focused, pre-professional training through one-week intensives in performance and audition technique. Led by ACT’s co-leaders, Coburn Goss and Jeremy Williams, with guest artist Lauren Ashley Bishop, each week explores a different area of the craft—from improvisation and musical theatre to monologues and the business of the industry.

 

Students may enroll in individual weeks or participate in the full series to build skills, confidence, and preparation for college and professional pathways.

All classes will be held at The Benson/McAdams ACT Academy, located inside the top floor of the Thea Foundation building.
