Delray Beach Playhouse

About

Kids can take acting classes through Delray Beach Playhouse's Arts Academy, which offers semester-long instruction in theatrical performance. The playhouse also produces children's theatrical shows and runs summer camps focused on Broadway performance, giving your kid chances to both learn and perform on stage at an established community theater on Lake Ida. The Arts Academy serves kids interested in acting at various levels, with classes structured across fall and spring semesters. Summer Broadway Camp is another option if your kid wants intensive theater experience during school break. This is a legitimate nonprofit theater with real productions, so kids get exposure to actual stagecraft, not just classroom instruction.

The Delray Beach Playhouse is a non-profit community theater located in Delray Beach, Florida. Since 1947, it has been bringing theater to Palm Beach County. The Playhouse offers a wide range of theatrical productions, including Off Broadway plays, com

• MUSICAL THEATER KIDS!(AGES 7 – 12)*INTERMEDIATE LEVEL*

  Camp
  Ages 7–16· Monday, Friday· Evening· Membership Required

  This is a really cool intermediate-level musical theater program at the Delray Beach Playhouse where kids ages 7-12 actually get to do theater, not just watch it. The classes meet on Monday and Friday evenings, so it fits nicely into a school schedule. You do need a membership to participate (it's $30), which gives you access to their whole program. What I love about this place is that it's been around since 1947 and they actually know what they're doing—it's a legit non-profit community theater, not just a strip-mall drama class, so your kid gets real theatrical training in a space where actual shows happen.

  Your kid will dive into Kenneth Grahame's classic tale with a full theatrical production of "The Wind in the Willows," which means they're not just watching a show—they're actually performing it on stage. This advanced-level program is for kids ages 7 to 16 who already have some theater experience and are ready to tackle a real script with actual blocking, sets, and costumes. Rehearsals happen on Monday and Friday evenings, and you'll need a $30 membership to participate. The Delray Beach Playhouse has been a community theater institution since 1947, so your kid will be learning from people who genuinely care about theater and have been doing this for a really long time.
