Footlight Players

The Footlight Program is a month-long youth theater day camp for children between the ages of 7 and 12, and a teen academy for those 12 and older for deeper study and training. We're open to all youth with a desire to explore their creative talents.
The Footlight staff are professional theater artists assisted by college interns. The program concludes with public performances by the entire Footlight Company.
