Tidemark Youth Theatre Arts: Building Character on Stage

Step into the spotlight this Spring Break!

The Tidemark Youth Theatre Arts Camp invites young performers to explore creativity, confidence, and storytelling on the big stage at the Tidemark Theatre. Over five exciting days, participants will dive into the world of theatre through acting games, improvisation, movement, and collaborative storytelling in a fun and supportive environment.

Led by experienced theatre instructors, campers will build performance skills including character development, vocal projection, stage presence, and teamwork – all while making new friends and discovering the joy of live performance.

The week wraps up with a special mini-showcase where students share what they’ve created with family and friends on the Tidemark stage.

Whether your child is brand new to theatre or already loves to perform, this camp is a welcoming space to imagine, play, and grow as a performer.

Recommended for youth ages 9–14.
