Connie Mockenhaupt and Chris Schlagel conduct a Musical Theatre Workshop for teens and adults. And last but not least, Dana Hendry of New Star Children's Theatre presents four two-week long summer camp workshops for children ages 4-6 and 6-12. Each of Dana's workshops have a different theme and involve singing, dancing, making costumes and props, and a whole lot of fun.

All workshops except the Auditioning Workshop include performances at the end of the workshop. Worksops are separated into various age groups and each class requires some necessary "homework" outside of class hours. The amount of homework varies, depending upon the class.
