Summer has officially arrived, and the halls of Florida Academy of Performing Arts are already buzzing with music, laughter, creativity, and applause!

Classes and camps are now underway, but if your child, teen, or young adult has been thinking about trying theatre this summer, there may still be opportunities to join the fun. Many families are surprised to learn that some programs may have limited openings available even after camp sessions begin.

Why Summer Theatre?

Summer musical theatre is about so much more than learning songs and lines.

Students develop:
✨ Confidence and self-expression
✨ Public speaking and communication skills
✨ Teamwork and collaboration
✨ Creativity and problem-solving abilities
✨ Lasting friendships and unforgettable memories

Whether they’re stepping onto a stage for the very first time or returning as a seasoned performer, every student has the chance to grow, learn, and shine.
