Summer Theatre Academy

The Summer Theatre Academy (STA) at Backdoor Theatre promises two weeks of fun and learning! STA is a 10-day camp where students ages 8-13 audition, rehearse, and perform a play in just 10 days! 

​Students will gain valuable theatre skills, confidence, self-esteem, and a love of creativity through theatre games, acting, and a performance!
