Each camp runs for two weeks, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a final performance on the Saturday following the last day of camp.

Where are the camps held?
All camps take place at Penfold Theatre Company’s performance and rehearsal spaces in Round Rock, Texas, located at 2120 N. Mays Street, Suite 290.
What will my child learn at camp?
Campers build skills in acting, voice, movement, music, and ensemble work while developing confidence, creativity, collaboration, and performance technique.
How is the camp day structured?
Camp days are divided into rotating 45-minute sessions where students move through different stations including acting, voice, movement, music, stagecraft, theatre games and daily rehearsals for the show.
Do campers need previous theatre experience?
No prior experience is required! Our camps are designed for both beginners and experienced performers, and all students are supported at their individual skill level.
How are students cast in the show?
On the first day of camp, students participate in a fun, low-pressure casting assessment where they read different roles and play with scenes alongside the teaching artists; casting is based on this collaborative process and designed to give every camper a meaningful role.
Will my child have a costume for the performance?
Yes! Penfold Theatre Company provides costumes for all campers as part of the program.
What is the student-to-teacher ratio?
Our camps maintain a student-to-teacher ratio of 10:1 or lower, allowing for personalized instruction and a supportive learning environment.
What should my child bring each day?
Campers should bring a sack lunch, 2–3 snacks, a water bottle, comfortable clothes they can move in, and closed-toe shoes. All scripts and materials are provided.
Are performances open to family and friends?
Yes! Families and friends are invited to attend the Saturday performance. Performance details will be shared during the first week of camp.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Cancellations made up to 48 hours before the start of camp are eligible for a refund minus an administrative fee; cancellations after that point and through the first day of camp receive a credit, and no refunds are issued after the first day of camp.
Who teaches the camps?
State Licensing Exemption: Penfold Theatre Company’s programs provide specialized, direct instruction in the performing arts. As a single-skill instructional program, we operate under the “Single Skill Program” exemption outlined in Texas Human Resources Code §42.041(b)(18). Because our focus is strictly on arts instruction rather than general childcare, we are not required to be licensed by the state. By registering for this program, you acknowledge that you have been informed that Penfold Theatre Company is not a child-care facility or day-care center and is not licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
Assumption of Physical Risk: While we prioritize the safety of all students, participation in the performing arts involves physical activity. By registering your child, you acknowledge and accept the inherent physical risks your child may face while participating in this program. These risks may include, but are not limited to, trips, falls, muscle strains, sprains, or accidental collisions associated with acting, dancing, stage movement, and choreography.
