Shea’s Performing Arts Center is pleased to have been presenting the Camp Broadway® Mainstage summer program for more than 16 years. Camp Broadway LLC is the recipient of the 2016 Special Drama Desk Award “for introducing young people to the magic of theater and for playing a crucial role in creating tomorrow’s audiences for over 20 years.” We believe in their programming, which provides campers from across Western New York with an authentic, enlightening and joyous theatre arts experience taught by trained Broadway professionals. Inspired by Broadway’s cherished works and steeped in its grand traditions, every program is designed to build confidence, inspire creative expression, and instill well-being in both aspiring artists and future audiences.

Proclaimed “The Camp of Dreams,” Camp Broadway® Mainstage is designed for theater-loving kids, ages 10-17, to develop their confidence, character and presentation skills through ensemble performance. Open to all children, regardless of previous performing experience, this 5-day program encourages aspiring artists and future audiences through a wide array of classes, workshops and experiences. The staff of experienced Broadway professionals work closely with small groups to immerse our young cast in an active rehearsal process that features an authorized script and score from a popular Broadway musical that enables all campers to successfully stretch their skills. Inspired by Broadway’s cherished works and steeped in its grand traditions, the program culminates in the Family Finale, a musical showcase presented onstage at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre.

Tuition for Camp Broadway is $550. An initial deposit of $275.00 is required with registration. The final balance is due before the start date of the camp. Scholarships are available.
