The Park Dale Players Musical Theater Camps are 2 week camps during which we rehearse and perform a full scale musical. Rehearsals for the Session 2 summer camp are the last 2 weeks of July. Monday - Friday from 9am to 2pm. Performances, complete with full costumes, props, sets and lighting, are on Friday and Saturday evenings, July 26th & 27th. 

The Park Dale Players has been a fixture in North County Children's theater for the last 25 years. Beginning as a company of adults performing original plays for children and teaching drama workshops in the schools, PDP began its student musical theater program in the Encinitas School District in the fall of 1999.

The Park Dale Players is not just for the experienced student with a strong interest in theater. It is for everyone, whether they are outgoing or shy, whether they have been in numerous shows or have never set foot on stage. We believe that theater is the perfect vehicle to help foster a child's natural creativity and to help him or her gain in confidence, self awareness, and self esteem. With that in mind, our plays are written specifically to give every child a special character to play. There are no "chorus" parts in our productions—everyone has lines, everyone sings, everyone dances. Our goal is to have our students come away from a Park Dale Player experience with the sense that they have taken part in something very special.

We run this program in the Encinitas School District during their fall, spring and summer breaks. During these two week periods, we rehearse and perform a full scale musical. Rehearsals run Monday through Friday from 9 until 12 for the drama and singing segment of the program and, after a half hour supervised lunch break, the dance segment runs from 12:30 until 2:00. Performances, complete with full costume, props, sets and lighting, are on Friday and Saturday evenings of the last weekend. The Fall and Spring sessions of this program are open to 3rd through 6th graders. The Summer session is open to 3rd through 10th graders.

SESSION COST IS $450. 50% OFF VALUE $225
