Summer Schools
At Performers Theatre Company, we offer intense 5-day summer schools where students work towards a final performance, usually a well-known musical. Children focus on the three disciplines throughout the week as well as learning about audition technique, stage presence, stage make-up, prop design and more.
Previous summer schools include The Greatest Showman, Wicked, High School Musical and Hairspray. All have been huge successes!
