At Traveling Players, we believe teens deserve quality training from caring teachers.  The staff in our shops are construction artists as well as designers who are eager to teach the next generation.  Several of our Shop Heads have earned MFAs, worked professionally, and even designed on Broadway.  Our Shop Assistants all have or are currently working on their BA/BFAs. 

With a small number of student technicians, staff are able to tailor their projects to each camper’s skill set and make sure every camper experiences significant growth over the summer.  Our students are set real but achievable challenges in every area of technical theatre.  Some of our advanced students have gone on to serve as lead designer for Traveling Players shows.  

If a Technical Theatre Apprentice will be applying to college for Theatre Tech and Design, then we can identify a special project that the student can solely build and document for their portfolio. 

Personalized Attention

Your child will flourish with our unusually small 1:4 faculty:student ratio.  We ensure each performer gets the attention they deserve rather than waiting in the wings for their cue.  We make sure they get a chance to shine on stage – and off stage, too. 

Unplugged to Connect

We are phone-free.  Children enjoy camp with open eyes and hearts – not hunched over a screen.  Unplugged from the stress of social media, they can forge real friendships with their peers, making connections that last a lifetime!

Real Growth from Ensemble Support

We affirm each student’s strengths – and then challenge them to keep growing beyond their comfort zone.  Our staff invest in each actor, helping them earn self-confidence.  We train our students to be not only great actors, but also great people.

Experiencing the Great Outdoors

Theatre began as stories told around the campfire. We continue this tradition with a summer camp that feels like summer, teaching our campers outdoor skills like fire-building, campfire cooking, and sleeping in tents!
