Orlando Shakes' Summer Camps

For kids interested in getting on stage and performing, the Orlando Shakes Summer Camp is a fantastic fit! Kids as young as kindergarten can learn about not just Shakespeare but also a broad range of theatrical activities. Kids can learn about music, singing, auditions, and stage presence. Camps are separated by age group and welcome all skill levels, from kindergarten through senior year.

Campers who are more interested in a more intensive opportunity can participate in The Young Company program — an introduction to the world of professional theater for high school students. Students go through an audition process of readings. The four-week program ends with final performances at the Margeson Theater stage.

The Orlando Shakes from kindergarten through the senior year also has programs that make theater more accessible to those who have additional needs to be met during camp. The Shakespeare With Heart program is open to middle and high school students. Students of all abilities end up working together to participate in the production of a Shakespeare play over the course of an intensive two-week rehearsal period.
