A Word From the Kids

"The Young Artists' Program has helped me improve my audition skills, especially how to be more centered and confident going into an audition room. I will definitely apply that to my later career. It’s been great having this as a job. Getting to perform and do what I love, and getting paid for it at the same time, is really cool."


Mia, rising 12th grader, on her experience with the Young Artists Program (YAP) at Summer Camp. The YAP prepared students of working age for careers in the performing arts. Courses included audition preparation, singer-songwriter masterclasses, vocal studio classes, and more! Most Young Artists earned a wage for their participation in the YAP thanks to partnerships with the City of Wilmington and New Castle County.

The Addams Family was a smash hit!

"The show was AMAZING. The kids did such a phenomenal job. I just can't believe how fun it was." - Audience Member

Congratulations to the cast and crew of The Addams Family! The talent onstage and behind the scenes was out of this world, and to mount such a production in five short weeks is quite impressive.


A huge thank-you and congratulations to our supportive audiences, who broke a Choir School attendance record over two sold-out shows on July 27th and 28th!


Want to relive the excitement? Did you miss out? The first show of the Greatest Hits season will feature even more musical theater favorites. Join us for a lively evening at the cabaret!
