Education
Mini Summer Theatre Academy
This two-week program is designed for students that have finished K - 2nd grade. Students will showcase their talents and better prepare them for the full Summer Theatre Academy program and main stage shows. During the program, the students will learn the basics of theatre etiquette and traditions. They will also learn a short 30-minute play that has speaking parts, songs, and dances that are tailored to their age group. The camp will meet weekday mornings for two hours and culminate in an evening performance for friends and family.
Summer 2025, the students will preform Bremen Town Jam!
Summer Theatre Academy
The area’s much-anticipated favorite will return to The Columbian Theatre this June, Summer Theatre Academy (STA). Students who have finished grades 3-8 will perform in this program. This year there will be two options, a play and a musical. Through this program, The Columbian’s mission is to serve as a resource for local children, ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, with a desire and passion to learn about theatre art. STA teaches responsibility, confidence, and teamwork, which are all traits that we, as an organization, hope will leave a lasting impression on these young actors and actresses.
Summer 2025, the student will be performing the play Winnie the Pooh and the musical Disney's Finding Nemo Jr.
