At the Spotlight Project, every child gets to shine in the spotlight! Our classes are designed to teach beginner musical theatre (singing, acting, and dancing) to children of all levels of development, ability, and experience. Students with or without disabilities are encouraged to join!

Whether your child has been performing on stage since they were born, or this is a brand new adventure for them, we at The Spotlight Project will make it our duty to ensure that they feel supported, challenged, and loved. We create an inclusive environment that allows each student to shine and find confidence on stage and in the world around them. Students will take dance, acting, and music classes, as well as rehearse and perform a final show on the last day of camp for family and friends!

Students should participate independently in most of the camp activities. We do not have a nurse on staff and are not trained/authorized to administer prescriptions. All students must be able to use the restroom independently. Volunteers and teachers will be present to assist when needed, but we are not staffed one-to-one for each child. If your child needs extra support, please email Emma at to discuss options (ex: having your nurse or nanny accompany the student during camp).
