what is summerstock?
Vanguard Theater’s DREAM Summerstock VTC Intensive is a three-week, transformative theater program for students ages 12-19. Combining top-tier theater training with social and emotional growth, our program nurtures young artists from all backgrounds and provides a supportive community for emerging talent.
“I have never seen such an amazing performance from young adolescents like this before! My son was in this show and I cried! The raw emotions and the talent were just amazing! My son has been a part of other theater arts programs and they’re good BUT nothing compares to Vanguard! I’m excited to see what future shows you have in store.”
“The journey that my child has been on, while in Vanguard Theater Company’s care, has been nothing short of transformational. You have cultivated a community of souls who intuitively and deeply trust one another. A community who puts service before self. A community that I am proud to be a part of my child’s life. You have given ME the gift of allowing my child to explore new terrain, to test her comfort zone, to expand her perception of the world and discover what is right, true and just for her.”
At Vanguard Theater, we are committed to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial means. We offer payment plans and financial assistance on a case-by-case basis to make our programs accessible to as many students as possible.
