Project Title: Significant Productions – 2026 Youth Summer Theatre Camps
Project Description:

Significant Productions, Inc. is thrilled to continue fostering the next generation of artists and storytellers through our fifth annual Children’s Theatre Summer Camp at The Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center in The Villages, FL. In partnership with teaching artists from Orlando Family Stage, we will provide an immersive, high-energy theatre experience from June 1 – June 13, 2025, where young performers will build confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills on a professional stage.
Campers in grades 3-8 will take center stage, rehearsing and performing in full-scale productions, while our youngest participants (grades 1-2) will engage in a dynamic Creative Drama experience, using materials inspired by the larger productions. With a maximum capacity of 47 campers per week (94 total participants), we are committed to providing personalized attention and high-quality instruction.
Recognizing that financial barriers should never stand in the way of artistic growth, we also offer sponsorship opportunities for 1-3 children in need each year. While we strive to secure community support for these young artists, funding is not always guaranteed. This initiative has truly changed lives, providing students—who might not otherwise have the chance—the opportunity to learn, perform, and grow with us.
Through this program, we are not just teaching theatre; we are empowering young voices, fostering confidence, and ensuring that every child, regardless of financial circumstances, has the chance to experience the magic of live performance.
