- "Schools Out!" Youth Day Camps during mid-semester breaks (elementary/middle school)
- Advanced Techniques Workshops (performance, writing, more) for young adults and adults
- Production casting opportunities

What's Included

• Downtown Little Rock 601 Main Street facility
• Paid internship structure for HS Academy participants
• Multiple theatrical departments to rotate through
• Mid-semester camp scheduling aligned with school breaks (childcare-useful for working parents)

Experience

The paid-internship HS Academy is unusual - kids spend their summer doing real production work and get paid for it. The departmental rotation model means teens leave with hands-on exposure to areas (lighting, sound design, stage management) that are typically invisible in pure acting programs.
