The Summer You Actually Did Something

Four weeks. Four completely different theatrical worlds. One studio in the heart of Thornton Park that takes the work seriously and the fun even more seriously.

Base Price: $350 per week
Program Hours: Monday -- Friday | 9:00am -- 4:00pm
Available Weeks: June 1--6 | June 8--13 | June 15--20 | June 22--27

Every week at PaperMap Theater & Co. is its own adventure -- a new theme, a new cast of characters, and a new world built from the ground up. Each day we walk one block to Lake Eola Park for an hour of script exploration, studying landmark works of theater in one of Orlando's most iconic outdoor spaces. Then we come back to the studio and make something real.

And every Friday at 4:00pm, families show up for a 45-minute showcase that is an actual show. Full sound. Full lights. Costumes, props, and set pieces built during the week by the people performing in them.

This is theater camp for performers ages 8-17 who want more than a participation certificate. Small casts. Real roles. Real direction. A show worth watching at the end of every single week.

Four weeks available. Enroll in one or all four. Space is limited.

More drama than your group chat. Guaranteed.
