Derby Dinner Playhouse’s 5th annual Summer Musical Theatre Camp is a one-week performing arts camp for students ages 7-17 exploring drama, music, and dance. Taught by Derby Dinner Playhouse theatre professionals and focusing on creative dramatics and scenes, songs, and dance from Broadway musicals, the camp culminates in a final performance on the Playhouse stage. (In past seasons, many camp students have gone on to be cast in young actor roles in Derby Dinner Playhouse’s professional productions.)
