Train with the pros. Perform on the mainstage.

Summer on Stage is back (and even better!) because the beloved Mirror Project returns for students ages 9–17. Students learn acting, voice, movement, and storytelling directly from the professional actors in MCT’s production of Shakespeare’s Henry V, then perform their own “mirrored” production on the same stage.

Each student is paired with the actor who plays the same role, creating a one-of-a-kind mentorship experience. Open to beginners and experienced students alike. Fully supervised by professional teaching artists.

They rehearse where the professionals rehearse. They perform where the professionals perform.

Real training. Real mentorship. Real performances. Real Fun.
