The Acting Loft is now accepting enrollment for students ages 5-14 for its Summer Musical Theatre Camp. The camp runs in three two-week sessions: July 6th-July 17th, July 20th-July 31st and August 3rd-August 14th. The campers spend their mornings in acting, singing and dancing classes, while their afternoons are spent in master classes and rehearsing for their final performance project. This summer, each performance project will focus on a specific aspect of musical theatre: Session 1's production will focus on acting, with a performance of "The Tales of Hans Christian Anderson"; Session 2's production will focus on singing, with a performance of "The Secret Garden"; and Session 3's production will focus on dancing, with a performance of "The Velveteen Rabbit". It is important to note that all sessions will provide classes in singing, acting and dancing. The focus on each of those areas will be more intense depending on the session students enroll in.

The Acting Loft Summer Musical Theatre camp offers a chance for campers to learn the basics of musical theatre performance in a safe, supportive environment. Campers are also treated to traditional camp activities and games.

The camp runs Monday-Friday, from 9am-5pm, with an extended day option for pick-up and drop off at 516 Pine Street, Manchester. Tuition for each session is $300 plus a one-time enrollment fee of $25, which includes a camp T-shirt, morning snack and all camp materials. There are multi-session and family discounts, and financial aid may be available for Manchester residents.
