2026 RST Kids Musical Theatre Summer Camps
Why Spend Summer at RST?
At Richey Suncoast Theatre, we believe theatre is about more than just memorizing lines—it's about building confidence, making lifelong friends, and discovering the power of imagination. Every camp includes:
-
Professional instruction in a historic theatre setting.
-
Hands-on creative projects (sets, props, and costumes).
-
Friday celebrations with pizza and karaoke!
The Lightning Thief
A Production by Kids, for Everyone
Heroes, monsters, and one VERY angry Zeus — The Lightning Thief hits the RST stage this July!
Percy Jackson just found out he's the son of a Greek god… and now he has 10 days to recover Zeus's stolen lightning bolt before war breaks out on Mount Olympus. Based on Rick Riordan's best-selling novel, this high-energy rock musical is packed with humor, heart, and an electrifying score — a thrilling night of theatre for the whole family.

This summer, give your child more than something to do. Give them a place to shine. At Richey Suncoast Theatre, camp is not about memorizing lines. It is about building confidence, making friends, and discovering what your child is capable of, on a stage that has welcomed this community for nearly 100 years.
