At Stagedoor Manor Summer Camp, performers of all levels–beginner and advanced–find expression and fulfillment on stage and in the classroom. Each session, campers are cast in a show and enrolled in six different classes, ranging anywhere from acting, musical theater, vocal training, movement, dance, film acting, stage combat, and so much more. We pride ourselves on the vast number of options and possibilities we offer. Campers can explore over 60 core classes as well over 25 specialty classes that are offered based on our incoming staff each summer. You will learn from Directors, Choreographers, and Vocal Coaches who have been selected because of their years of experience motivating and guiding young performers.
Campers attend three one hour-long classes on an alternating day schedule. One set of classes meets Mon/Wed/Fri and the other set of classes meets on Tues/Thurs/Sat. Classes are held for the first two weeks of each session and our program is designed to offer intense, process-based classes taught by a staff of incredible industry professionals.
Stagedoor Manor hosts campers from every state and from countries around the world! Because of the weight of our reputation in the industry, we receive hundreds of applications each year – far more than we can accommodate.
