Created in 1993, the Warner Summer Arts Program is a key feature of the Warner Theatre's Center for Arts Education. The Warner Theatre Summer Arts Program is licensed by the State of Connecticut Department of Health and is a member of the Connecticut Camping Association.
The goal of the Program is to provide children and teens with an opportunity to explore a wide variety of performing and visual arts in an environment of encouragement and support. It's a place where self-esteem and confidence can be nurtured and talent is discovered.
The members of the faculty boast local, national, and international teaching and performing credits and all have experience communicating their diverse knowledge to children.

No previous experience is necessary. However, we will attempt to break down students into groups based on ability and experience whenever possible. Groups are small (no more than 20 students) and led by an experienced instructor, as well as several counselors and teaching assistants. A supervised lunch period will take place daily. Students must bring a bagged lunch and beverage. Refrigeration is provided.
Special Guests
The Warner Theatre Summer Arts Program welcomes special guests each session. Past guest instructors and performers have included: Broadway actors, musicians from the world-famous Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, instructors from Artwell, Inc., Connecticut Dance Theatre and the Connecticut Storytelling Center.
Field Trips
Each session will have one field trip to a major cultural institution in the region. Past field trip destinations have included: Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Sturbridge Village, Wadsworth Atheneum, Shakespeare & Company and more! Students will receive specific information regarding the field trip once their program session has begun.
Share Day
The last Friday of each session is "Share Day". Parents and family members will be invited to observe a fun and informal performance by the students, giving them the opportunity to share their new skills on stage.
