Summer Youth Conservatory

Looking to go deeper into the process of creating theatre? How about taking on five weeks of training that combines top-notch teaching and unparalleled practical experience on stage and behind-the-scenes? PlayMakers offers its Theatre Intensive and TheatreTech programs to high school students who are ready to take it to the next level. For middle school students, we offer Theatre Quest this summer - come and train with us for one week or all five!

“The Conservatory is the biggest learning experience in acting and singing that I’ve ever encountered. I learned so much about scene work, text work, and character work.”
