Can you believe we’ve reached the end of the road? This is Part 14 of our 14-part Rockwall Acting Summer 2026 Spotlight Series, and we’ve saved one of the most magical experiences for last. This summer, we are inviting young performers to step out of the gray Kansas plains and into the vibrant, Technicolor world of Oz.
Our Wizard of Oz-themed weekly summer camp is more than just a rehearsal: it’s a journey of self-discovery. Whether your child is looking for things for kids in Rockwall or specifically wants to dive into musical theater, this camp is the perfect place to start.
Finding Your Brain, Heart, and Courage
In this camp, we don't just teach lines; we explore characters. Students will step into the shoes of iconic roles like Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion. Each character represents a quality we strive to build in our students: intelligence, empathy, and bravery.
Acting out these legendary journeys helps kids develop social-emotional intelligence. According to research on youth theater, stepping into another character’s perspective is a powerful way for children to develop empathy and emotional resilience (American Alliance for Theatre & Education).
Songs That Spark Imagination
It wouldn’t be Oz without the music! Our acting classes and vocal coaches will guide students through show-stopping numbers like "Over the Rainbow" and "We're Off to See the Wizard." Singing these classics helps students with vocal projection and articulation: skills that translate directly to better public speaking and confidence in the classroom (Edutopia).

At Rockwall Acting, our instructors are industry professionals who have worked on stages from Texas to New York. We bring that professional "full production" energy to every weekly camp.

Why Choose Rockwall Acting This Summer?
Beyond the fun of improv and musical theater, students gain tangible benefits:
- Literacy Gains: Reading and memorizing scripts improves vocabulary and reading comprehension (NEA Arts).
- Confidence: Performing on a professional stage under dramatic lighting helps kids overcome stage fright.
- Teamwork: Putting on a "mini-production" requires intense collaboration.
