CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

Theatre Arts Center Summer Performing Arts Workshop was created by Kristine Lewis in 1985 and is unique in eastern Pennsylvania. Our talented students perform at TWO professional theatres; Our 2009 summer students performed for more than 6,500 theatre-goers of all ages! This sets us apart from the typical "summer camp." Our program immerses 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.

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.  See our exciting line-up of shows in the Session Chart below.

  

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 and abilities. There is something for all levels - beginner to advanced - ages 5-19.

 

EACH WORKSHOP ALSO INCLUDES classes with WORKING Theatre Arts Professionals in acting, voice, music skills, dance, on-camera technique, mime, and other performing arts.
