2024 Youth Programs - The Theatre Lab

Taught by some of Washington’s best-known theatre professionals and educators, our camps and classes emphasize the benefits of drama training both onstage and off—from increased self-confidence and communication and teamwork skills, to a desire to stay active in mind and body.

School-Year Classes for PreK4 – Grade 12

The next set of classes will be in the Fall of 2024. The class schedule will be released mid-late Summer. In the meantime, check out our summer programs including summer camps and teen training institutes.

We believe that young artists, whether new to the craft or brimming with experience, deserve a place where they can be challenged. A place where they can develop superior theatre skills while learning to take artistic risks, explore new creative paths, and have fun doing it! Our programs meet students wherever they are and give them the tools to take their artistry to the next level. More than a third of all participants in our youth programs receive full or substantial scholarships.

I love that the staff are so encouraging, supportive and knowledgeable about dramatic arts! It really has made a difference in both of my children’s confidence.

Summer Camp Programs for Youth & Teens

2024 Summer registration is now open!

At The Theatre Lab, our summer camp programs are divided into groups based on the grade that the student is entering in the Fall. We place all children with their peers based on grade regardless of theatre experience. Camp is a very social experience and we want to make sure they are with a developmentally appropriate group. We keep our classes small and group age ranges narrow in order to provide both a challenging, engaging, and age-appropriate curriculum. Read about our philosophy.
