Book, Music and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey

This summer, step into the spotlight with Redline Theatre Company’s Summer Theatre Camp production of Grease!

Designed for young performers of all experience levels, this six-week intensive blends professional training, collaboration, and pure creative fun. Students will work with theatre professionals to build confidence, strengthen performance skills, and learn the art of ensemble storytelling — all while bringing one of Broadway’s most beloved musicals to life.

Age Range: Students of any school rising to Grades 8–13 (7th entering 8th grade in Fall 2026 up to 13th entering college/ post-high school)

Why We’re Different

  • Tangible theatre skills: Hands-on workshops during camp hours— for both the aspiring professional and the student who simply loves to create.

  • Independent and inclusive: We’re not affiliated with local schools, allowing us to focus entirely on each student’s growth.

  • Led by working artists: Every instructor holds a degree in the arts and is actively building a professional career, offering insight into navigating the modern theatre world with practical knowledge.

  • Standard of excellence: Every student and staff member is held to a high creative standard, ensuring a final show that reflects real artistry and growth. Regardless of the role a student plays, they’ll receive the same theatrical, conservatory-style training and level of attention.

  • Active, engaging learning: No sitting on the sidelines — every moment is hands-on, collaborative, and designed to make the most of each student’s time and creativity.
