Weekly Program Overview
This summer, let A Noise Within spark your child’s love for the performing arts!
At Summer With Shakespeare, your camper will not only discover the magic of theatre; they will build confidence, develop public speaking skills, and join a loving and enriching community of young artists! Our Weekly Program for Ages 6 – 13 provides a flexible option for families with dynamic summer plans. Campers will experience a fun and immersive curriculum that includes Acting, Singing, Stage Combat, Movement, Improv Comedy, and more!
The final two weeks of the Weekly Program are combined into the Two Week Intensive, offering campers adequate time to rehearse for a live performance on the final day of camp! At this performance and throughout the summer of 2026, campers will focus on scene work from Shakespeare’s timeless, combat-filled classic Romeo and Juliet.
