Theatre Arts Center Summer Performing Arts Workshop was created in 1985 and is unique in eastern Pennsylvania.  Our students perform at TWO professional theatres!  Our 2007 summer students performed for more than 4,800 theatre-goers.  This sets us apart from the typical summer "camp."  Our program immerges participants, ages 5-19, in the world of performing arts in a professional, supportive, and creative atmosphere and is for the young performer looking for a "serious fun" performing arts experience.

(Performers ages 14 - 19,

Each student will rehearse and perform fully staged musicals at the charming new Sellersville Theatre 1894 in central Bucks County and at the  Bristol Riverside Theatre in Lower Bucks.  Each year we commission a new musical.    The 2007 Summer Workshops performed for more than 6,100 people on two professional stages!  

 

 

 

 

 

EACH WORKSHOP ALSO INCLUDES classes with WORKING Theatre Arts Professionals in acting, voice, music skills, dance (ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop), on-camera technique, mime, and other performing arts.

 

 

 

The workshop offers two, three, four, five, and seven week sessions of Serious FUN 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday,  with some Saturday performances. 

Audition is required and  students are placed in sessions according to age & abilities.  There is something for all levels - beginner to advanced - ages 5-19.*

 

FOR TALENTED TEENS:
 The Bucks County  Musical Theatre Ensemble
