The camp that started it all! For students in grades 5-12, grouped by age/experience. In this two-week camp, workshops are conducted in acting, dancing (for both dancers and non-dancers), speech and diction, improvisation, auditioning, stage combat, individual voice lessons and more. No auditions are necessary to attend this camp. The program concludes with our famous "Musical Revue" performance for family and friends on the Inserra Theater main stage on the second Thursday evening.

For our youngest performers! For students in grades 2-5, this weeklong camp provides a comprehensive introduction to the key theatrical disciplines in a nurturing and low-stakes environment. Students will participate in all the activities described in the Senior Theater Camp program with students their own age. Rising 5th graders have the option of selecting Junior or Senior theater camp, depending on their prior experience and comfort level. This one week program ends with a final day demonstration in the afternoon for friends and family.

Put on a full production in two weeks! This summer’s production will be Chicago Teen Edition! For students in grades 7-12, this two-week intensive production experience teaches all elements of performing in a musical with blocking, acting instruction, teaching of songs and dance - all leading to 4 full scale performances (roles will be double cast). Auditions will be held on July 14 in the evening and virtual submissions will be accepted for those unable to attend. Actors are expected to come to the first rehearsal off-book. Note: Auditions are to determine cast assignments; ALL REGISTERED STUDENTS WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE PRODUCTION. While the rehearsals are Monday - Friday, performances will be held on Saturday, August 9th and Sunday, August 10th, 2025.

Intended for our STC and PTC campers who are seeking additional training in technique, this week-long camp will feature workshops in dialects, scene-study, voice and body work, Shakespeare, stage combat, sight reading, music theory, and other disciplines, with professional instructors and Broadway guest artists. For STC campers who finish their revue performance and are seeking additional training, or for PTC performers who are looking to brush up on technique in the week prior to the start of rehearsals, or for those just looking for a single-week theater technique camp.
