Can you tell me more about Stage Company? I’m unfamiliar with the company.
Of course! Stage Company was founded recently but is modelled on a former Theatre Arts school (Spotlight Stage Company in North Wales) that closed. Miss Katie and Miss Stacy worked there together for five years. Miss Katie decided she missed the model, teaching and sharing the love of Theatre Arts too much, so she decided to launch Stage Company.
In many cases, students take three separate lessons (dancing, acting, singing) to learn the disciplines. What’s unique about Stage Company is that students receive instruction in each discipline and also learn how disciplines are intertwined into a Production. The students work very hard to put a Production together in one week!
Does my son/daughter need to have previous training?
Not at all! Students who have been performing their whole young lives or who have never stepped on a stage are welcome! Our goal is that every child learns more about Theatre Arts, develops the confidence to perform, and has fun while doing so!
What should my camper wear?
Campers should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move (dance)! Ladies should avoid wearing skirts. Dance shoes are highly recommended. Sneakers must be worn in place of dance shoes. Flip-flops are not allowed and neither are socks (for safety reasons).
All girls should wear their hair in a ponytail.
What should my camper bring?
Each day campers should bring a lunch, a few snacks (for breaks) and water or juice to last the whole day. A refrigerator will be available to keep lunches cold.
In addition, he/she should bring dance shoes (or sneakers) and the script (handed out on the first day).
What time does Camp take place during the week?
Camp runs from Monday- Friday from 9:00am — 3:00pm. We ask that all campers be dropped off on time and picked up promptly at the end of the day.
(Before care and after care are available. Please indicate this on the Registration page.)
On Saturday, the day of the Performance, campers will be dropped off at 9:00am and should go home after the Performance with family members.
Where are the Camps held?
Stage Company will be hosting our Camps at 1525 Marian Road Abington, PA. We will be using the school (Regina Coeli Academy) and the Church Hall for rehearsals (Our Lady Help of Christians).
What time is the performance?
On Saturday, the Performance will take place at 12:00pm.
Do tickets cost anything?
Nope! Family and friends are all invited (and encouraged!) to see your camper shine. While there is no cost for the show, please be advised, seating is first come (there are no assigned seats). Doors will open fifteen minutes prior (11:45am) to curtain (noon).
Where can I find out more about the Teachers?
When picking out a Program for your child, we think it’s important to know the experience of the instructors! All of our instructors have 15+ teaching experience in their field (singing, acting, dance). The teaching staff creates a positive and encouraging environment and can teach to all learning styles (visual, kinesthetic, auditory) for all age groups. Additionally, every teacher and volunteer has all the necessary clearances to work at Stage Company.

Do I have to pay the entire amount with Registration?
No, we ask that you put down $100 to hold your Camper’s spot. The balance is due the first day of camp.
What is the refund policy?
The deposit is needed to hold a student’s spot in the camp. The balance must be paid in full by the first day of camp.
A full refund can be issued if requested in writing six weeks prior to the first day of camp.
Do you give a discount for siblings who want to attend together?
Yes, we do! Register multiple children and receive $50 off the second registration!
