Drama and Musical Theater Summer Camps in Greater Buffalo, NY
Do we call it musical theatre or musical theater? Acting or drama or theater arts or performance arts?
It doesn't matter what we call it: Summer is a great time to learn acting, singing, and dancing! With greater Buffalo's emphasis on performance and music, there are lots of summer camps to choose from. Some are one week, some are more. The following are camps that have elected to be featured on this page, and below it are additional camps of which we at KidsOutAndAbout.com are aware.
If there is a camp that we have missed, please email us to let us know, and we'll add it promptly. Thank you!
