Traveling Players prides itself on top-notch training in a joyful environment.

For over 20 years, Traveling Players has been creating theatre, friendships, and memories — with the best people: theatrical kids and teens! Our summer theatre camps and performing arts programs are small by design, allowing us to have a coveted 1:4 faculty-to-student ratio.

Traveling Players presents a full continuum of great summer theater camps tailored to kids and teens - from beginner to advanced. Our offerings range from enriching day camps to overnight acting camps, and even our prestigious theatre conservatory, Shakespeare Troupe. Students have the unique opportunity to receive guidance from seasoned theater professionals while showcasing their talents in captivating outdoor settings.
