Summer Musical Theatre Camp 2026

THIS YEAR:

TWO SESSIONS!

Tons of rehearsal fun, singing, acting, and dancing. Camp ends with a full weekend of professionally produced performances open to the public, complete with costumes, set, props, stage lighting, and more!

What's Up Next?...

Always hard to pick a favorite part of any show, but wow I LOVE to watch this clip of the moment Alice flooded the stage with her tears while trying to make her way into Wonderland. The fabric, the lights, and our Young Performers absolutely slaying this complex fabric choreo and transition without getting tangled or missing a beat !

They did it! They did it! They did it! The SMTC ‘24 cast of Addams Family the Musical absolutely KILLED it!! Onstage AND off !!!

What a fun way to bring the spooky kooky into summer time! I wish we had another weekend or two of shows. Ticket reservations booked up the fastest they EVER have ! I guess we need more audience space… 👀 👀

And in true “me” fashion, I managed to post zero while we were in rehearsals/show weekend. I just get in the zone and stay IN there. So. Brace yourself for a whole lot of throwbacks to last month. Profesional photos coming soon!

Look at that focus ! #tbt last weekends Mini Musicals CREW! They worked their little booties off on a huge chunk of choreography and music from Addams Family the Musical!

As usual, we asked a lot of our Young Performers in a short amount of time. And as usual, they met us with positive attitudes, focus, and most importantly: EXCITEMENT!

Now I REALLY can’t wait for June!

#tbt to Peter Pan at @stmaryangelsschool_bucktown ♥️♥️♥️ ♥️♥️♥️
I came across this clip and realized I was so focused on thousands of things that I don’t know if I got to appreciate how amazing this show ended up being.
•The kids worked so hard (that is 💯 them singing!!)
•the GingerSnap team worked SO hard
•we brought in ALL of the lighting, sound equipment, way too many body mics, and turned that little stage in their gymnatorium into NEVERLAND

I can’t remember what we asked them to do here, but clearly these Young Performers are delivering high levels of drama and despair.

We’ve got just a pair of legs coming out from under a stool, someone fainting, another administering aid, and, stage left, perhaps another fainting spell? Or a sensible nap. It’s hard to say.

Whatever it is, I love it.

Let’s do more!

#tbt the FIRST Mini Musicals weekend. Which just happened to be in March of 2020.

No explanation necessary, but it does feel important to reflect on the time that’s passed and the things we’ve built despite of and because of a global pandemic.

And I always reflect on that very long period of time where we were not able to gather and make art together.

I am thankful to be an arts educator and thankful to be on our second year in a ROW of Mini Musicals! 🌹🌹🌹

This year, I’m going to do one of these on the first day of camp AND on the LAST! They look pretty confident here, but if you saw that final performance of Matilda, you wouldn’t believe it was the same group of Young Performers !

They never cease to amaze me! The work that gets done in just 3 short weeks of Summer Musical Theatre Camp is astounding !
