Are you searching for the perfect way to keep your kids engaged, creative, and away from their screens this summer? If you are looking for things for kids to do in Rockwall, look no further! At Rockwall Acting, we’ve put together an incredible lineup of summer camps and programs designed to inspire young performers.

Whether your child is a seasoned pro or just starting out, here are 10 things you need to know about our upcoming summer season.

1. The Sound of Music JR. Auditions are Coming Up!

This is our biggest priority right now! We are casting for our full-scale production of The Sound of Music JR. The deadline to submit your audition is June 1st. Don’t let your child miss the chance to be part of this classic story. Check out our audition page for all the details.

2. We Have Weekly Themed Camps

If your child loves a specific story, we have a camp for them! Our weekly camps include favorites like Moana, Peter Pan, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Frozen, and Wizard of Oz. It’s a week of non-stop fun ending in a mini-showcase.

3. Theater Builds Real-Life Confidence

Research shows that theater training isn’t just about the stage. A study from the University of Sydney found that arts-involved children show higher self-esteem and life satisfaction. We focus on building confidence in every student!

4. Professional Instruction is Key

Unlike a general "play camp," our instructors are industry professionals. They bring real-world experience from TV, film, and Broadway right here to Rockwall, TX.

5. Specialized Summer Intensives

For students looking to level up, we offer intensives in Improv and Film & TV Acting with a focus on commercial work. These are perfect for kids who want to learn how the industry really works.

6. Private Lessons are Available

Summer is the best time to polish those skills. We offer private lessons in acting, dance, and voice to give your child that one-on-one attention they need.

7. It’s About More Than Acting

Theater teaches teamwork and empathy. According to the American Alliance for Theatre and Education, students involved in drama often have higher standardized test scores and better reading comprehension.

8. Audition Tips for Success

We don't just hold auditions; we teach kids how to succeed in them. From choosing the right song to building "audition confidence," we provide the tools they need to shine.

9. A Safe and Friendly Environment

We pride ourselves on being a "second home" for our students. Our studio is a place where every child feels safe to take risks and express themselves.

10. Registration is Open Now!

Our camps fill up fast! If you want to ensure your child has a spot in the best summer camps in Rockwall, you’ll want to sign up soon.
