NTPA’s exciting summer camps and 2-week productions have been a hit across the DFW metroplex for over 30 years, and now they are coming to Southlake in 2023!

Learning doesn’t have to stop just because it’s summertime! Theatre camps are a great way for children to explore literature in a fun and creative way. Kids will transform into a superhero, a princess, or their favorite storybook character as they bring popular stories to life on stage! With summer learning opportunities for ages 5 to 18, there’s a spot for everyone to learn from our professional directors, actors, and singers.

Week-long camps are available in half-day and full-day options for ages 5-14 and two-week productions are available for all ages, K-12! Each one-week camp has a different theme based on popular children’s stories like Descendants, Frozen, and Harry Potter. With FOUR options for two-week productions this summer, there’s truly something for all ages.

Plus, it’s the perfect time to try out a theatre program at NTPA, because new students get 50% off their first camp or production! Programs are available at NTPA’s Southlake location all summer long.

So pick your week (or weeks) and sign up today! Summer camps fill up fast, so reserve your spot TODAY while you still can.
