Musical Theater Summer Camp

Pistarckle Theater once again offers the Youth Summer Musical Theater and the Youth Playwrighting Camp for 2019. Pistarckle's Summer Camps were named the 'Best Summer Camp' by readers of the Virgin Islands Daily News for many years, and also was named one of the top fifty finalists in the National Arts and Humanities Youth Awards by the National Endowment for the Arts.

The STARZ Youth Musical Theater Camp (Camp 1) is a 6-week program focused on teaching all aspects of musical theater. Performance areas include singing, dancing, and acting -- as well as technical theater areas such as costume construction, lighting and sound design. This is the perfect camp for anyone 9 years old and up who dreams of exploring the magic of theater! This year's chosen play is Les Miserables. 

Camp begins on Monday, June 17, and runs from 9 am - 3 pm, Monday through Friday. For more information and/or registration and financial aid forms, click here.

The STARZ Leadership Playwrighting Camp (Camp 2) is a 4-week program sponsored by Department of Labor for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 15 who are interested in the vital connection between theater and society. This year, students will create their own plays with a master playwright. Registered camp students will learn theater from the ground up. During camp, students will learn the basics of theater and leadership by writing, directing and acting in their own plays. This camp begins on Monday, July 22.
