SUMMER CAMPS

South Bend Civic Theatre’s Summer Camps will give youth from kindergarten through high school the opportunity to experience the magic of creating live theatre. The camps are taught by experienced and enthusiastic instructors who will coach kids on skills including acting, musical theatre, improv, and more. This year, we’re excited to offer two Summerstage sessions: Charlotte’s Web and Beauty and the Beast as well as a Jr SummerStage camp!

The Drowsy Chaperone

The Drowsy Chaperone is a joyful celebration of Broadway’s golden age of musical theatre. As the house lights dim, a lonely theatre lover settles into his favorite armchair and drops the needle on the cast recording of a beloved (and completely fictional) 1928 musical. Suddenly, the recording springs to life, transforming the stage into a dazzling spectacle of song, dance, romance, and outrageous comedy.

AUDITION

Acting auditions are cold readings (scenes/monologues) from the scripts. Musical auditions involve singing and dancing portions to their process.

SBCT is committed to reflecting the diversity of the community by color-blind casting whenever possible (unless dictated by the particular script) and encourages and welcomes actors of all backgrounds to audition.

Up Next: Menopause Made Me Do It

It has been ten years since the last reunion of the crazy ladies. Menopause has arrived and the ladies are crazier than ever. The mission is to convince Kay, the gun-toting tomboy, to marry Shaun (the guy she once kidnapped and held accountable for the sins of men). Hilarious…poignant…utterly mad.

Join us in the Main Lobby for an informal reading in a cafe-style setting.
