Midsummer Theatre Camp

REAL Training. REAL Experience.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and mitigation limitations we are not able to be in person for this year's camp. We will be offering a virtual camp with more information to come soon.

Indiana University's Midsummer Theatre Camp is a dynamic two-week immersive theatre and drama institute designed especially for young people serious about studying theatre. Classes are taught by IU faculty, outstanding teaching assistants, and professional guest artists. Together, students and theatre professionals share the common endeavor of building an intensive ensemble.
