One unique aspect of Stagedoor Manor is its focus on ensemble work. Students learn how to collaborate with others while also developing their individual talents. This approach fosters a sense of community among campers that extends beyond the summer months.
In addition to its comprehensive training program, Stagedoor offers numerous performance opportunities throughout the summer season. Each session culminates in a series of fully-staged productions featuring original scripts or adaptations from popular musicals such as "Les Miserables," "Rent," "Hairspray" or "The Addams Family."
