Facets Theatre Summer Camp 2025
Facets Theatre (formerly Brighter Connections Theatre) is an inclusive theater camp for everyone. Youth ages 8 through adult, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, are welcome to join in the fun. No previous theater or dance experience is necessary — just bring your creativity and enthusiasm.
Choose the camp or camps that excite you most. Each session stands alone, but those participating in multiple camps will have the opportunity to build on their skills. Plus, bundle discounts are available.
Led by University of Dayton Theatre, Dance and Performance Technology faculty and staff, along with instructors specializing in inclusive, neurodiverse theater, these camps provide a supportive and inspiring environment for all participants.
