MyMainstage is a unique, fully online, song and dance-filled enrichment program for theater-loving kids ages 10-17.

Inspired by our in-person camp, Mainstage, MyMainstage is taught by our team of New York theater pros, and includes 20-hours (Monday through Friday) of interactive classes in singing, dancing, acting, and related activities delivered online to aspiring performers in the comfort of their own home.

The program includes at home pre-camp activities such as show-themed set and props craft projects, and costume guides enabling campers to be involved creatively in every aspect of the production. MyMainstage culminates in the Family Finale that is presented LIVE ONLINE and features a professionally produced video of the camp ensemble performing songs and scenes from the year's musical, a downloadable Playbill, as well as a special introduction of each of the campers.

To enable effective teaching and to promote personal interaction between teacher and camper, enrollment is limited to 60 participants. Campers will be organized into small groups of 8-15 participants per group according to age. Each class encourages kids to make new friends, as well as inspires independent learning outside of camp so each performer can master their dialogue, songs, and movement.

MyMainstage includes:

-Scenic, prop, and costume pre-camp activities
-20 hours of interactive classes in singing, dancing, and acting
-Official camp t-shirt, MyMainstage headphones, and commemorative patch
-Downloadable camp content, video rehearsal tutorials, and instructions for uploading videos and photos
-Downloadable Playbill
-Streamed presentation of the professionally produced Family Finale
