Why Traveling Players shine off stage (as well as on stage!)

Traveling Players’ acting camps & conservatories are small by design and awarded for excellence.  In fact, the National Endowment for the Arts places Traveling Players in the top 25 in the nation for summer arts training. 

Each cast only has 13-14 actors and 2-3 tech students, ensuring everyone receives exceptional, individualized training.  The result?  Real transformation, a tight & supportive ensemble, and a 70% retention rate. 

Our students don’t just shine on stage, however.  They shine off stage – with remarkable growth in independence, confidence, and close friendships that truly last – throughout middle and high school, and into college.  That’s the Traveling Players difference.  A kind, vibrant, joyful community where young artists are happy, can be themselves, and find “their people.”

“Patrick has gained incredible self-confidence, treasured friendships, and outstanding acting skills in his 4 years (and running) at Traveling Players. It’s a wonderfully supportive positive experience. The directors have an uncanny knack for knowing exactly what roles the students need for their growth and success.” – Erika, Patrick’s mother

 Our auditions are first come, first decided.  The sooner you audition/interview, the greater chance there is that space will still be available in the program you want.  We’d love to welcome your child into our kind and vibrant community!
