Ocean City Theatre Company Opens Registration For 2026 Summer Camps

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Ocean City Theatre Company has opened registration for its 2026 Summer Camp lineup, with programs in Ocean City for young performers across a wide range of ages and experience levels. The nonprofit said the camps will run throughout the summer and are designed for students from beginners trying the stage for the first time to more experienced young actors looking to build their skills.

Programs will include acting, singing, dancing, improvisation and full-scale musical productions led by teaching artists and industry professionals, according to the announcement. Campers also will have opportunities to perform for family and friends.

“Our summer camps are more than just theatre training—they’re a place where young people grow, collaborate, and find their voice,” said Michael Hartman, Artistic Director. “Even going into our 19th Season, we’re still inspired and shocked by the talent, passion, and creativity our campers bring to the stage.”

The 2026 offerings include:

• Summer Stars: A Wonderfully Wicked Summer Session is a five-session camp designed for teens (ages 13 and up) and adults with physical, cognitive, or developmental disabilities.
