2026 PRODUCTION CLASSES
Chicago Teen Edition
July 6th-25th 2026
Open to grades 9-12

In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.
This a three week intensive summer program that will culminate in four performances at the Wells-Metrz Theatre on the Indiana University Campus.
For this year’s camp, we’re collaborating with IU Theatre and Dance to bring local Stages performers and performers from out of town to collaborate on this Broadway classic. Performers will take classes on weekday mornings in various theatrical subjects, and then attend rehearsals in the afternoons. This camp will immerse teens in the summer stock theatre experience, preparing them for future projects beyond high school.
Daily Schedule:
Mon-Fri*:
9-1: Class (ex. Acting, Tech Theatre, Dance, etc)**
12-1: Lunch
1-5: Rehearsal
*We will have rehearsals on Saturdays, 1-6 PM.
**The morning classes are made available for a $150 fee.

This is a collaboration between Stages Bloomington and the IU Department of Theatre and Drama and Contemporary Dance.
