About our Programs
Surflight Theatre's Musical Theatre summer programs allow students to explore the craft of acting, singing, dance and learn the discipline of performing, as they develop their own unique creative voices through the study of scenes and songs from age-appropriate musicals. Each session will focus on a specific musical as stated below.
Students develop poise, movement, speaking, and acting skills as they explore improvisation, theatre games and character development, which culminates in a short presentation of a musical showcase at the end of the session. Students will have a time they will never forget as they experience their own "Broadway at the Beach."

Surflight Theatre’s Teen Apprentice Program is a flexible program for High School students going into 9th to 12th grades or 2026 high school graduates.
Known as the “4, 4 for 4” program, the Apprentice Program consists of a commitment of 4 hours a day, 4 days a week for 4 weeks.
More time can be spent at the theatre if interested. In which case, you would be eligible to be assigned to run crew for Children’s Theatre, stage managing, running spotlight, ushering, etc. For those who are interested in spotlight duties for Mainstage shows, it may also be a possibility.
The Apprentice Program is an opportunity to learn many theatre skills which are also life skills that can be used in many applications outside of theatre. Apprentices may work next to skilled professionals, college-age interns and see first hand how the business of theatre works.
Since Surflight is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Apprentice hours count as service hours for NHS and college applications.
