Summer Theatre Camp
July 27 — August 7, 2026
Two weeks of theatre games, invented characters, and mythmaking -- all building toward a final performance your kid will talk about for the rest of the summer.
"I just saw the best play I've ever seen in my life, hands down. This is the most moving piece of art I've ever seen. Any art, ever.”
— John R, Audience Member
THIS IS WHAT
THEATRE
FEELS LIKE
Something happens when you walk out of a Crescent City Stage production.
You might not be able to name it right away. You might need a minute before you can talk. You might sit in your car for a moment, just feeling it.
That's not an accident. It's the whole point.
"Crescent City Stage, raising the bar for theatre in NOLA. A wake-up call for a vibrant future."
Bryan Batt
Daniel, Audience Member
"I had no idea New Orleans had theatre like this. This is the real thing."
