3rd Summer for Lights Up Youth Theater!
We can’t wait to continue the success of last year, so get ready for another fun summer!
Get ready to act, sing, dance, and have fun this summer! Actors will work together to rehearse and perform new and modern musicals, made for kids. They will collaborate to create a performance they're proud of, finding a new community of creative kids that are kind and supportive, and have a lot of fun along the way. Lights Up creates a safe and empowering space for kids of all identities.
After 2 weeks of day camps, the final Friday will end in an evening performance, fully staged with a live band, costumes, set, props, and lights (of course!). Your actor will be thrilled to have the special experience of performing on a stage.
