Williamsburg’s Youth Summer Theatre Camp
Launched in 1993, StageLights is dedicated to teaching children the art and technique of acting, voice, dance and stagecraft. We are a nonprofit organization, run by experienced performing arts teachers and overseen by a volunteer board of directors.
Our organization works in partnership with the James City County Department of Parks and Recreation, which generously helps us coordinate space for our workshops and performances. StageLights is also partially supported by grant funding from the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission and James City County.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our successful 2026 season! See you in summer 2027!
