Curtain Call’s Summerstock and Summerstock Junior are full-day, conservatory-style workshop programs in dramatic and musical theatre arts. Students hone creative, collaborative and social skills as well as performance skills. Each session runs two weeks and accommodates a maximum of 40 students. Those students are then placed in age-appropriate groups for a rotating schedule of study in a variety of performance subjects under a team of specialized instructors. For example:
Monday |
Group A |
Group B |
Group C |
Class 1 |
Voice |
Acting |
Dance |
Class 2 |
Dance |
Voice |
Acting |
Class 3 |
Acting |
Dance |
Voice |
(See the session descriptions below for what specific areas of study each session explores).
Class work is highlighted in a student showcase at the end of each session. A lunch and snack break will be part of the daily schedule. Lunch will normally take place on the playground and picnic area of the Sterling Farms property, weather permitting, or in our Dressing Room Theatre where tables are available for seating. Students should bring their own lunch and snacks in a bag or lunch box, as well as a water bottle, clearly labeled with their name. Please avoid packing any nut-related items as a number of students (and sometimes staff) often suffer from nut-related allergies.
ALL CORRESPONDENCE WITH PARENTS WILL TAKE PLACE BY EMAIL. Once you have registered, you will receive an automated confirmation from our online system. Further information and any necessary forms (waivers, photo releases and emergency/medical forms) will be sent via email at least two weeks prior to the start of the session (if not sooner). If you do have questions in the meantime, please contact Education Director Brian Bianco at brian@curtaincallinc.com or 203-329-8207 (x700).
Sibling Discounts and Payment Plan Options are available. Scholarships are available for students in need. Details on how to apply as well as information on our staff’s backgrounds can be found in the sidebar to the right if you are on your computer or tablet (or to the bottom if you are on your phone).

Summerstock Creative Theatre: Grade 6 to 12
This two-week program offers a rotation of study in Improv (or unscripted theatre), Acting and (NEW THIS SUMMER) Scene and Sketch Writing. Students must be entering grades 6 thru 12 in the 2023/2024 school year.
Because the July 4th holiday falls on a Tuesday (and odds are most families will want to take advantage of the long weekend), it severely condenses our second week of class, when we are in rigorous preparation for our showcase performance.

Orientation Day: June 24, from 10:00am to 1:00pm
Workshop Dates: June 26 to 30 and July 5 to 7 (*Students must have all scene work for our showcase memorized over the holiday weekend.)
Workshop Times: Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 4:30pm
Showcase Performance: July 7 at 7:00pm
Registration: $775 (Register for both Creative and Musical and save $200.)
