About

Transforming Lives Through Theatre Education

We work to make both the artistic and the real-life benefits of theatre training accessible to all. The Theatre Lab enrolls over 2,800 adults, teens, and children a year. Offerings are designed for beginners and veteran actors alike through a wide range of programs—Saturday acting classes, summer camps for kids, public speaking for non-theatre professionals, the rigorous Honors Acting Conservatory, the community-driven Life Stories® program, and our workforce development program, the Arts Institute for Creative Advancement.

Recognized by The President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities as one of the 50 “top arts and humanities-based programs in the country serving youth outside of school hours,” our youth programs are about more than just developing acting skills.

For more than three decades, The Theatre Lab has provided award-winning summer youth and teen programs to the Washington community. Each summer, we are the artistic home to more than 550 young people from all over the metropolitan area who take part in our acclaimed acting camps and theatre training institutes.

The secret to the success of our summer programs? We offer serious theatre training, taught by experienced teachers and theatre professionals, in a unique environment that’s friendly, supportive, and incredibly fun. We believe that young artists, whether new to the craft or brimming with experience, deserve a place where they can be challenged. A place where they can develop superior theatre skills while at the same time learning to take artistic risks and explore new creative paths. And they deserve to have a great time doing it—because, after all, having fun is what summer is all about! If you’re looking for a summer experience you’ll never forget, we invite you to get in on the act!
