SUMMER THEATRE FOR STUDENTS
Our Theatre Quest programs, for both middle and high school students, provide the opportunity for students to grow their theatre skills in these two-week long camps. Students will have the opportunity to learn from talented instructors and will showcase their abilities together on the final day.
Our Theatre Intensive and Theatre Tech programs are for high school students who are ready to take it to the next level. PlayMakers offers a six-week practicum for high school students—both on stage and behind the scenes—combining top-notch teaching with unparalleled practical experience. Students work with professional directors, choreographers, musical directors, and theatre technicians at PlayMakers Repertory Company, which culminates in a professional-quality production for the entire Triangle to enjoy.
