Summer Workshop

Lights Up! Theatre Company invites you to our 2025 Summer Program!

Enrollment is open to anyone in the age group of the specified program – regardless of Company Member status. Have you been wanting to see what it would be like to join us? Our Summer Programs are an ideal, low-pressure, and fun way to get to know the LU! community!

☀️ IT’S BACK! ☀️

Build performance skills, learn fundamentals, and find community through improv training – all while having a blast!

Ages 11-19 – All experience levels are welcome.

Due to popular demand, we have TWO weeks available this summer: August 4th-8th & August 11th-15th. You can sign up for either or both (a real “Yes, And” situation)! We’ll meet at our usual rehearsal space (2300 Garden Street, Santa Barbara) from 4:30-6:30pm each day of camp*. Tuition is $250 per week.

As part of the camp’s education, each student will get a VIP ticket to TWO local improv shows in August at Santa Barbara Improv – the longest-running local improv workshop in Santa Barbara and where you can regularly see our camp’s instructor (and LU! Assistant Director), Heather Madden Harkness!

*: Camp will be from 4:00-6:00pm on Friday, August 15th to accommodate our Second Annual Summer Lights Cabaret at 7pm at Center Stage Theater (ticket info coming soon)!

BOTH WEEKS ARE FULL, but you can join our waitlist on the form linked below:

☀️ JUST ADDED! ☀️
