Calling all young artists! Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping onto the stage for the first time, Summer Stock is the perfect place to explore your creativity, build confidence, and make lasting friendships—all while putting on an incredible show!
In this fun, supportive, and safe space, campers will dive into singing, dancing, acting, and special performance skills as we work together to create our very own jukebox musical! Using classic Broadway hits and songs chosen by our campers, we’ll craft a one-of-a-kind story where everyone gets a chance to shine. From brainstorming ideas to rehearsing and performing, each camper will play a role in shaping a magical production that’s uniquely ours.

🎶 Learn vocal techniques, movement, and character work
💃 Explore choreography and dynamic stage presence
✍️ Collaborate to write and direct our original jukebox musical
🎭 Build confidence and teamwork through fun theater games and activities

Join us this summer in beautiful Talkeetna, Alaska, for an unforgettable theater experience filled with creativity, collaboration, and pure Broadway magic!
This full-day, week-long immersive experience, directed by the dynamic duo Kaitlin Lawrence and Danielle Aslanian, promises a fun and immersive journey for youth ages 10 to 17. Summer Stock runs Monday through Friday, June 9th through the 13th from 9am to 4pm. There will be two performances on Saturday, June 14th.
Kaitlin, a New York-based professional actress and Theater Director, brings her wealth of experience from numerous regional productions and national tours to guide and inspire young performers.
Danielle, a talented musician deeply rooted in the community, adds a distinct local musical dimension to the program. With extensive experience teaching instruments and vocals, she will foster a harmonious blend of skills, ensuring that every camper discovers their unique voice in the ensemble.
Scholarships are available for Summer Stock. If you are applying for a scholarship, be sure to also register your camper right away in order to save their spot on the camp roster (DO NOT WAIT until you hear back about the scholarship). Scholarship applications will be reviewed close to the start of camp, and families will be notified.
Dear Parents,
As we eagerly anticipate the start of Summer Stock at Denali Arts Council, we want to emphasize the exciting yet intensive nature of our upcoming program. While we have planned for breaks and a dedicated lunchtime, it’s essential to highlight the importance of sustained focus and active participation throughout the day.
Creating a memorable performance in just one week requires the dedication and engagement of every participant. We kindly request your support in encouraging your child to stay focused, absorb valuable lessons, and actively contribute to the collaborative process. The immersive experience is designed to be not only educational but also a lot of fun, and we believe that maintaining a high level of engagement will lead to a more rewarding and successful week for everyone involved.
We appreciate your understanding and collaboration in fostering an environment where each youth can thrive and contribute to the magic of Summer Stock. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to a week filled with creativity, camaraderie, and outstanding performances!
