Summer is finally here, and at Rockwall Acting, the stage is set for our most exciting season yet! Whether your child is a seasoned performer or a beginner looking to build confidence, our 2026 Summer Spotlight Series has something for everyone. From magical camps to professional-level intensives, here is everything you need to know to succeed this summer.
1. The Big Opportunity: "Sound of Music" Auditions
If your child dreams of being part of a full-scale theatrical production, now is the time to act! Our summer production of The Sound of Music is going to be spectacular.
Priority Reminder: The audition deadline is June 1st. Don't miss your chance to join this classic story. You can find all the details on our Sound of Music production page.
2. Pro Audition Tips for Kids
Nerves are normal, but preparation is key! According to experts at Backstage, the best way to help a young performer is to focus on the process rather than the result. Here are three quick tips:
- Practice Short Bursts: 10–15 minutes of focused practice is better than an hour of stress.
- Be Yourself: Casting directors love to see a child's natural personality.
- The Power of Breath: Teach your child to take three deep breaths before they step into the spotlight.
Training in our acting classes is the perfect way to build these skills year-round!
3. Weekly Summer Camps: A Theme for Every Dream
Looking for things for kids to do in Rockwall? Our weekly camps are designed for ages 6–16 (with options for 5 and 18). Each week features a different theme:
- Moana & The Little Mermaid Jr.
- Peter Pan & Lion King
- Wizard of Oz & Frozen
Beyond the fun, the American Alliance for Theatre & Education (AATE) notes that theater education improves reading comprehension and builds essential social skills.
4. Elevate Your Craft: Intensives & Privates
For the performer looking to level up, we offer Summer Intensives focusing on Improv, Film & TV (commercial focus), and Musical Theater.
If your child needs 1-on-1 attention, our Summer Privates in acting, dance, and voice are taught by industry professionals. This personalized approach is one of the best ways to nurture the creative growth that defines childhood.
