About The Program

S.T.A.R. Summer Theatre Arts Repertory is designed for youth ages 7-17 who desire to build on their love and passion for the performing arts! S.T.A.R. focuses on the performance and technical instruction of theatre, music, and dance!

S.T.A.R. students commit to train Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. for four weeks. An Extended Day option is available from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. S.T.A.R. campers not only have the opportunity to explore theatrical arts, they also get to enjoy weekly field trips and summer activities. At the end of their 4-week session S.T.A.R. students will put on a stellar full scale production for the whole family to enjoy!

Directed by Monica Josette, S.T.A.R. productions motivate students toward the spirit of excellence and allow the opportunity for students to showcase what they have learned while taking their moment to shine their light and tell their story!

Applications can be emailed to info@edisonartsfoundation.org!
