“This program has surpassed all of our expectations. It is truly remarkable. I can’t thank you enough for the experience that my daughter will cherish for a lifetime! She has already asked if she can do it again next summer!” – Nina, parent

“The Stratford Festival teaching artists, Qianna and Brittany, were some of the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met. I loved all the games we played and all the cool tips I learned. I was never really interested in Shakespeare, but now I love it.” – Participant, Shakespeare Weekend Intensive

“This camp was so awesome. I met so many friends. I gained more confidence. I grew as both an actor and as a human.” – Participant, Musical Theatre Training Program
