Summer Stock 2025 Camp and Performances
Final Performances June 14

Summer Stock 2025 Camp and Performances

In this fun, supportive, and safe space, campers dove into singing, dancing, acting, and special performance skills as we worked together to create our very own jukebox musical, this year entitled “Don’t Think Twice, Roll the Dice!” Using classic Broadway hits and songs chosen by our campers, we’ve crafted a one-of-a-kind story where everyone gets a chance to shine. From brainstorming ideas to rehearsing and performing, each camper has played a role in shaping a magical production that’s uniquely ours.

This immersive journey, directed by the dynamic duo Kaitlin Lawrence and Danielle Aslanian, has been a high-energy, creativity-packed adventure for youth ages 10 to 17.

Friends, family, and the general public are invited to witness the magic of Summer Stock come to life on stage! You can purchase tickets to one show, or get a discounted Day Pass to see both!
