What if summer camp did more than teach kids how to perform?

At Urban Arts Center, young people didn’t just learn lines, choreography, and music—they learned confidence, discipline, teamwork, and emotional resilience.

This year’s culturally inspired production of “Matilda” showcased the incredible talent of Dallas’ next generation while highlighting something even more powerful: one of the region’s only youth theater camps with a dedicated social emotional specialist on staff, ensuring students grew just as much off the stage as they did on it.

From a former Urban Arts Center Dallas student returning to direct the production to a creative team committed to developing young artists at a professional level, this is a story about legacy, mentorship, and investing in our future.

The standing ovation was well deserved—but the real story happened long before the curtain rose.

Urban Arts Summer Camp spent the day at African American Museum Dallas exploring the Mandela Exhibit, and the conversations that followed were incredible. The experience sparked thoughtful dialogue, curiosity, and reflection. We wrapped up the day with a stop at FIFA World Cup 2026™ Dallas Fan Fest, where our students experienced art and performance at the highest level. Inspiring the next generation, one experience at a time.

Grateful to United Way of Metropolitan Dallas for giving Urban Arts Collective the MainStage spotlight at The Showcase.
Erynn and Kyrie lit it up with “Stand Up” from the film Harriet, two young stars carrying our stories forward with power and pride.

On this Juneteenth weekend, we’re honored to uplift our students, our community, and the work happening right here in Dallas.

We will continue to Stand Up. ✊🏾
