Summer Camp at Bennington Theater

Train with Professional Artists Onstage & Backstage

Theater Makers Summer Camp

July 13–17 & July 27–31

This summer, Bennington Theater invites students entering 5th grade and up to dive into the world of theater through an immersive, hands-on training camp designed for curious, creative young artists.

Over the course of each week, participants will explore every side of theater-making—from acting, voice, and movement to lighting, sound, scenic design, costumes, props, and more. Each day focuses on a different aspect of the craft, giving students the chance to experiment, collaborate, and discover new skills in a supportive, process-focused environment.

Every stagecraft session is taught by working theater professionals, offering students real insight into how productions come to life both onstage and behind the scenes. Rather than working toward a polished final performance, campers will end each day with an informal sharing of what they created, explored, or learned together.

Whether students dream of performing under the lights, designing the world behind the curtain, or simply want to try something new, this camp is designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of theater.

Program Philosophy

The Theater Makers Summer Camp emphasizes exploration, collaboration, and hands-on learning across all areas of theater-making rather than focusing on a final production. Students are encouraged to try new skills, think creatively, and discover what excites them both onstage and behind the scenes.
