​

WE ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF THEATRE

​

Page & Stage Theatre is a company of theatre professionals and teachers based out of Hamilton County, Indiana.  In addition to our yearly productions, we feature the Page & Stage Summer Camp, in which children and youth learn and improve on vital reading skills through the art of theatre.

​

​

​

NO STARS, JUST STARRING MOMENTS.

​

We are dedicated to the belief that ensemble performance builds communication, compassion, loyalty, and true leadership. We accept any child, no matter their previous training, level of acting skill, or reading ability. Every actor on our stage gets their moment to shine.

​

​

THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

​

No matter where a child is in her/his education, we want to give them the best chance to succeed both onstage and off. Due to a generous grant from the Indiana Arts Commission, we have acquired more educational tools and techniques, allowing us to customize the camp to each child's needs.

​

This year, we are instituting a special tutoring effort to further improve each child's reading skills. Our summer reading tutoring is offered at no extra cost. Parents will also have the option of continuing the tutoring during the school year for an additional fee.

​

Look back on your childhood.  Think of your strongest memories and most profound learning adventures. Both science and experience tell you these things are stronger because of your emotional connections to them.

​

 

Emotion enhances memory and learning.  The theatre is a safe place to explore emotions and forge those deep, lasting connections.  At our camp, we use theatre games, rehearsals, and performance to teach phonics, vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.  Each day, our campers are onstage, rehearsing and performing their new reading skills.  So, what better place for a child to learn to read, or improve reading, than on stage?

 

This is the mission of Page & Stage Camp – to build literacy at all levels through the fun, play, and constant learning of theatre!

 

Page & Stage Summer Camp includes such activities as…

 

• Physical Phonics

• Reading Comprehension through Pantomime, Improv, and “Plot Twisting”

• Literacy Plays that teach key aspects of reading and writing

• Performed poetry, written by local authors and the kids themselves!

• A final performance in which every camper performs and shows off their new skills.

 

There are no stars on our stage – just great performances!
