From backstage tours to theater camps, OPAC provides opportunities for young minds to explore the arts and develop essential skills. Our commitment to nurturing artistic talent in individuals of all ages is reflected in our diverse lineup of educational programs.
Spotlight Summer Theatre Camps
Our Spotlight Theatre Camps provide an immersive, hands-on introduction to musical theater for students. These half-day camps are filled with creativity and fun, offering young performers the opportunity to develop their acting and stagecraft skills in a supportive environment. The camps foster collaboration and confidence while nurturing students' passion for the arts.

Open to all members of the community, it provides a welcoming environment for those who love to sing and share their talents. This program connects artists of all ages and backgrounds while enriching our local arts scene.
