About
Historic Downtown Knoxville Theater
The Bijou Theatre is a 700-seat historic venue on Gay Street that runs Summer Stages youth performing arts camps alongside its concert and touring-show calendar, serving kids ages 9-18.
Summer Stages Camp Programs
Three summer tracks scale from week-long intensives for younger kids up to a two-week Broadway showcase for teens. Programs include:
- Musical Camp - ages 9-13, week intensive ($450)
- Acting Camp - ages 9-13, week intensive ($400)
- Broadway Revue - ages 13-18, two-week intensive ($750)
- Scholarships and financial assistance
What's Included
- Vocal techniques, dance, character development, improvisation
- Performance on the historic Bijou main stage
- Public culminating performances open to family
Experience
The historic venue gives kids a stage that touring Broadway acts use the rest of the year - that scale lifts the final performance from rec-center showcase to something that actually feels like an opening night. The two-week Broadway Revue is the most ambitious tier for committed teens.
