We’re borrowing the phrase “Touchstone Topic™ ” from our STUDIO program.

This summer, Rich Theatre joins a budding worldwide movement to equip students for performing Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) while becoming one of the first theatre companies in the world to perform this show!

Chris - Rich Theatre parent since 2021

In continuing our commitment to academic theatrical training, we’re taking a step off of Broadway to zoom in on this exciting educational concept. 2024 Summer Musical Theatre Camp students will have the opportunity to experience performing student matinees in addition to regular evening performances. 

What happens when high school meets the robot apocalypse? Find out in an ALL-NEW MUSICAL that challenges our ideas of belonging and perfection, while exploring the ways we build narratives around one another. Maybe a community where everyone is exactly the same is not a community at all.

Powerful messages like these are for students--onstage, and in the audience! 

Why should the leads have all the fun? This ensemble-driven piece features a wealth of fun characters in hilarious situations. Join us!
