Camp Jersey
Jersey Productions provides educational programs for students during the summer months. This provides students with an opportunity to gain performance experience in musical theater but more importantly, to gain a better appreciation for musical theater and hopefully become lifelong theater patrons. Located in downtown Cincinnati, we are central to all schools in the tri-state area and local to students who live and attend school in the city.
The Camp Jersey summer programs fall during a time when many children's theaters are not performing and the students do not have the demands of their schoolwork so they are able to focus on an educational experience in the performing arts. The primary objective of all our educational programs is to learn the three components of musical theater: singing, dancing and acting. It is important to the design of our Camp Jersey programs to create a safe space in which kids are encouraged both by their peers and their teachers to try every aspect of the musical theatre program. In this framework, students learn teamwork, physical coordination, and public speaking skills as well as earn confidence to perform in front of an audience of both friends (at camp) and the public (at showcase).
Jersey Productions
is entering its fourteenth season as a musical theatre company in the Greater Cincinnati area. After spending two years at The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, we moved to downtown Cincinnati and became a Resident Company at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in 2008. Since our founding in 2006, we produced twelve professional musical theatre productions which employed over 350 local artists. Since 2010, we’ve focused on our Summer Educational Programs.
