Each Summer, kids ages 8 through 18 have the opportunity to flex their theatrical muscles with the Festival 56 company of artists with either of our two seasons of Theater Camp 56, a youth performing arts summer program designed for those passionate or even just curious about the theater world.

JUNIOR SESSION

This award-winning, two week day camp for kids age 8-13 features workshops with the cast and crew of Festival 56 including stage makeup, dance, improv and costumes.  Campers also present a full showcase performance in Soldiers and Sailors Park on opening day of the festival in addition to being in mainstage performances of a Festival 56 musical!

Senior Session

New this year, the Senior Session invites high school age students from across the state to come to Princeton and spend 4 days completely submersed in the theater world. Campers audition for, are cast in, rehearse and perform a showcase production presented on the final day of the camp. The showcase is directed and choreographed entirely by theater professionals from the Festival 56 company of artists.
