Summerstock Theatre Intensives 2026

Ages 8 (mature) through 19

Part of the IMPACT Series

2026-2027 Season

Splash into a visually rich, fast-paced Summerstock experience where performers bring The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition to life in just three weeks, followed by a 2 weekend run of performances.

All experience levels - from those exploring theatre for the first time to professional performers ready to grow artistically in a focused, collaborative environment.

Participants will not only perform in the production, but also collaborate in elements of the process including set, costume, prop, and creative development, working alongside a professional artistic team. In true summerstock fashion, they will make the show! In order to do this, participants will create and learn about set, costume, and prop design, as well as learn critical skills to execute these designs. They will also learn about sound, lighting, stage direction, choreography, stage management, marketing, front of house. 

Participants will learn how to put on a show!

Space is limited. Once capacity is reached, registration will close.
