🫶 Summer Theatre School is about more than theatre—it's about excitement, connection, and creating a place where young people can thrive.

💬 "The best part is that I've been able to see my daughter's excitement and joy every time I pick her up."

💬 "Sincere thanks for the meaningful connections the instructors fostered. A fantastic experience. Thank you."

From the moment campers arrive each morning to the friendships and memories they build throughout the week, Summer Theatre School is filled with moments that inspire, encourage, and connect.

🎭✨ Meet our Artist Educator: Alexa Fraser! ✨🎭

Alexa is a puppet and costume designer, puppeteer, and longtime Carousel Players Artist Educator from St. Catharines. This summer marks her sixth year leading Puppet and Mask Camp, where young artists bring their imaginations to life through creative puppets, masks, storytelling, and play.

"My favourite thing about puppets is the group energy required to bring them to life and the joy and emotion they communicate," says Alexa. She loves seeing the amazing creations campers make and how each camper's unique voice helps strengthen the group.

We're thrilled to have Alexa back for another summer of creativity, collaboration, and theatrical magic! 🐦🎨
