FR: Theatre Exploration

About this camp

Theatre Exploration is part of Father Ryan High School's Summer at Father Ryan program, offering a hands-on introduction to the theatrical arts on a real high school campus in Nashville. As an arts camp centered on theatre as its medium, it's a natural fit for kids who are curious about performance and the stage. The "exploration" framing signals a broad, beginner-welcoming approach rather than an intensive rehearsal-and-production format, making it approachable for a wide range of kids. The camp runs afternoons only, 1:00 to 4:00 PM, which pairs well with a morning program if you need fuller day coverage. Open to a wide age span — kindergarten through eighth grade — siblings can often attend together. At $170 for the week, it's reasonable for a performing arts experience. There's one session available, June 8–12. Father Ryan's Summer program has solid creative options across the arts if this one resonates. Families also explore FR: Dance Camp and FR: Shining Stars Camp for similar performing arts options on the same campus.
