Come and Explore the world of theatre!
Round House Theatre offers opportunities to students of all ages to experience the joy of creating and sharing theatre. Our Summer Programs are designed to inspire creativity, exercise imaginations, promote artistic risk-taking, and explore unique ways to tell stories through theatre. Round House’s teaching artists nurture students’ individual talents and artistic strengths in an environment of creative collaboration and ensemble building.
This summer, Round House is pleased to introduce 5 new programs in our summer line-up, including our new Musical Theatre Performance program which will culminate in a public performance of a full musical on our main stage in Bethesda!
