Discover the magic of theater with Skyline, where imaginations soar and young actors build confidence and develop a passion for the performing arts. “This is my 11 year old daughter’s second year in Skyline’s Broadway Camp. Each time I saw her perform I saw a side of her I never knew— a level of passion and emotion for performing she didn’t have other opportunities to express. I’m so grateful. The teachers are excellent and what they’re able to have the kids achieve in a few weeks is remarkable.” “My daughters have been active with Skyline Theater through their summer camps and their after school productions. The staff is amazing, the programs are very well run, with a perfect mix of hard work going into the plays and creative activities to bring the children and instructors together. The children gain confidence, have fun, and make friends.”
