Independence Park Theatre Summer Camp

2026 Independence Park Theatre Camp

 Musical Theatre Camp

Our cast of campers have the exciting opportunity to produce a full-scale musical in just three weeks! In this special program, campers learn theatre skills and gain acting experience through hands-on participation in the production process. Each session will lead its participants through auditioning, choreography, staging, costuming, and vocal rehearsals all leading up to the opening night of their BIG SHOW!

Production titles to be announced at a later date. Please check the website at www.theparktheatre.com (Camps + Classes) for updates.

Youth Media Arts Camp

This youth camp is structured to help introduce kids to the essentials of filmmaking while creating a fun and supportive environment in which they can pursue their passion. These campers will undergo training from industry leaders and produce quality work. Each presentation will be submitted to our annual INDY Film Festival on July 26th. Our camps challenge young people to bring a story to life with moving images. No prior experience is required — only enthusiasm.

Both sessions of Media Arts Camp will follow the same structure, but each offers unique opportunities for growth and creativity. We encourage campers to join us for both experiences!
