STAR Program

Join us this summer for STAR and perform on Capital Rep’s stage!

Registration is now open!

STAR is a 4-week summer theatre program (based on New York State Education Department's Learning Standards for the Arts) that allows up to 25 students (ages 12-16) to explore the world of theatre.

Students, working alongside professional artists, form a company that works together around a theme to create an original 45-minute performance piece, gaining skills in writing, costume and set design, dancing, acting and singing. In a real-world theatre environment, these young producers, performers and writers learn to work cooperatively with each other and with professional staff while given the freedom to let loose their creative energies and work together to build a show from the ground up!

STAR program dates run from Monday, July 1 through Sunday, July 28 (no program activities on July 4th), with performances at Capital Rep, July 26, 27 & 28. Program hours are Monday through Friday, 9am - 4pm. Tuition for the 4-week theatre program is $800. Students that register before May 1st will receive $50 off the tuition fee. Limited need-based scholarships are available.

Praise from Parents…

“Camille’s experience allowed her to make new friends, improve her confidence and self esteem. The daily activities channeled her creativity and challenged her to think outside the box.  These are important skills which can be implemented into other aspects of her life.“ - Selina Dobbs

“Mariah learned so much while having such a wonderful time bonding, sharing, working, and laughing with her peers.  The entire production staff have excelled, from the Director to the Light Operator; everyone was extremely approachable and devoted to our youth.” - Taryn Macary
