Students will participate in a wide array of courses starting with the basics of design in set, lighting, costumes, sound, and properties.

The health and safety of our students and resident artists is always top of mind. You can view the latest information in our extensive health and safety packet. Any specific policies for this year’s summer camp will be provided in the SMT Welcome Packet.
