In 2023, I was fortunate enough to aid in bringing back Pro-Art's summer camp as the Artistic Director. Since then, alongside many talented artists, I cultivated a new summer camp for students ages 8-17. ​Camp Create! shows to date include Finding Nemo Jr., Matilda Jr., Shrek the Musical Jr., with our upcoming 2026 production,

Hadestown: Teen Edition

​

 

Camp Create! is more than just a camp—it’s a vibrant, hands-on introduction to the world of musical theater. Students explore a wide range of artistic disciplines including singing, dancing, acting, costume and scenic design, visual arts, and more. It’s an immersive experience that not only hones individual talents but also builds collaboration, confidence, and community.

 

Our goal is to build a lasting program that inspires and supports the next generation of young artists in our region. With your help, we can continue

to offer this opportunity for years to come.

Thank you for supporting the arts and the creative voices of tomorrow.

I look forward to returning to this beloved summer program again next year!
