If you are a parent in Rockwall, Heath, or Forney, you know that finding engaging summer activities can be a bit of a puzzle. At Rockwall Acting, we’ve spent years perfecting the "Summer Spotlight Series": a lineup of camps and intensives designed to turn "I'm bored" into "I’m a star!"
Whether your child is a seasoned performer or a shy beginner, here are 10 things you should know about our 2026 summer lineup.
1. The "Sound of Music" Deadline is Approaching
Our biggest production of the summer is the Sound of Music Youth Edition. If your child wants to walk the hills and sing their heart out, auditions are open now! The priority deadline for video submissions is June 1st. Check out our ultimate guide to the production for all the details.
2. Audition Tips for Success
Worried about the audition? Don't be! We focus on the "fun" in fundamentals. Our top tip: don't over-rehearse. We want to see your child's natural personality shine through. Just have them sing a short part of a song they love and send it over!
3. Weekly Summer Camps: Moana & Peter Pan
Looking for weekly magic? Our Summer Camps like Moana and Peter Pan are perfect for younger performers (ages 5-12). They get to explore characters, learn choreography, and make lifelong friends.
4. Dive Under the Sea: Little Mermaid & Lion King
For those who love big ensembles and vibrant stories, our Little Mermaid Jr. and Lion King weeks offer high-energy fun. These camps culminate in a performance that builds massive confidence.
5. Classics Return: Wizard of Oz & Frozen
There is a reason these are favorites! These camps help students dive into character work and learn how to tell a story through song and dance.
6. Improv Intensive: Think on Your Feet
Is your kid a natural comedian? Our Improv Intensive teaches quick thinking, collaboration, and the legendary rule of "Yes, and…" It’s a great way to shake off social anxiety.
7. Film & TV Intensive: Ready for Commercial Work
Unlike traditional theater programs, we offer a specialized Film & TV Intensive with a focus on commercial acting. Your child will learn how to work with cameras and understand the industry from real professionals.
8. Musical Theater Intensive
For the serious performer, our Musical Theater Intensive is a deep dive into the "Triple Threat" skills: acting, singing, and dancing.
9. Private Lessons for Personalized Growth
If your child wants to polish a specific skill, we offer summer privates in acting, dance, and voice. It’s the fastest way to see growth in technique and stage presence.
10. More Than Just Acting: Life Skills
Theater is actually a secret weapon for success. According to the American Alliance for Theatre & Education, drama students show higher standardized test scores and better reading comprehension. Research also shows that 92% of campers feel better about themselves after a program (American Camp Association), and the National Endowment for the Arts notes that arts-engaged students show stronger civic engagement later in life.
