The ACT of CT Summer Performance Camp will be from July 26th to August 7th, 2021 and is designed for second to fifth graders. Campers will rehearse and perform the brand-new, original musical, Timberland. This engaging and clever new musical is a fun-filled story about three kids who are summoned to a distant planet (called “Timberland”) to reverse a terrible curse and save Timberland's majestic forest.

ACT of CT’s 2021 Summer Performance Camp will be held both inside and outdoors on the ACT of CT campus. In addition to working on the production of Timberland, campers will learn introductory musical theatre skills and techniques, enjoy theater games and meet special guests. The Summer Performance Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm and leads up to the performance of Timberland on Saturday, August 7th at 2 pm. Enrollment and registration is open!
