Chagrin Valley Little Theatre in Cleveland
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has a long-standing commitment to encouraging children and young people in acting. Since its establishment in the 1950s, the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s Youth Theatre program has fulfilled this mission with dedication and professionalism, while fostering cherished memories and a lifelong love for the stage among Northeast Ohio young people
We believe that performing on a stage in front of an audience teaches children discipline, self-confidence and responsibility, even if they never pursue acting as anything more than a hobby — and besides, it’s a whole lot of fun!
The legacy carries on with Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s Summer Youth Theatre Camps as our instructors invite students to join an unforgettable journey in the arts.
Summer Youth Theatre Camp
July 7 – 24, 2025
Mon – Fri
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Grades K-8
$600
REGISTER: CVLT.org/youth
This program is designed for aspiring actors, singers, dancers, and creatives ages K-8 offering a fun and supportive environment to explore the performing arts, develop new skills, and gain confidence both on and off the stage.
Over the course of 3 weeks, participants will engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including acting workshops, vocal coaching, dance classes, and behind-the-scenes production work. Our experienced instructors, including visits from professional theatre guest artists and educators, will guide students through the creative process, from rehearsing scenes and monologues to developing original works and learning about technical theatre aspects like lighting, costumes, and stage management.
The program culminates in a final performance, where students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents to family and friends in a fully staged production. Whether they’re looking to pursue a career in the arts or simply explore their creativity, participants will leave with a sense of accomplishment, new friendships, and a deeper love for the theatre and acting, particularly through the lens of scene study. The workshop will provide a structured environment where students can refine their technique, enhance their emotional range, and develop a stronger understanding of character and storytelling.
