Spotlight Productions

"I cannot recommend this camp enough. Spotlight was a staple of my summer every year I was eligible, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my middle/high school years. Connecting with aspiring performers from all over the area - whether they were attending public schools, private schools, or home school - is such a unique and valuable experience for any child. Of course it’s great for kids with dreams of a professional acting career, but it’s really a fantastic experience for anyone, no matter their career trajectory. It teaches adaptability in new environments with new people, confidence, discipline, public speaking, and teamwork, not to mention the friendships! Even two decades later, I’m still in contact with some of my Spotlight friends, both personally and professionally. 11/10 would do again."

"I enjoyed 3 summers of Spotlight camp back in high school and loved it! A super fun two weeks of practicing and learning a musical which was so thrilling and rewarding. I met so many fun, nice people that make long lasting friendships. You definitely need to sign up for this camp!"

"I attended Spotlight throughout high school, and it was an amazing experience! It provides a great opportunity for kids to hone their musical theater skills and make life-long friendships with other kids from all around the Hampton Roads area! Speaking of life-long friendships -- the new camp director, Melody Waters, is one of the life-long friends that I made while I was in camp years ago, and she is AWESOME! Melody is a professionally-trained performer with vast amounts of experience in children's theater, including a lead role in Sesame Street Live and time traveling with a nation-wide interactive children's theater performance group. She's been a producer with Spotlight for a few years now, they could not have picked a better person to take the lead. Melody is one of the kindest and most patient folks you'll ever meet, and your kids will be in EXCELLENT hands under her direction!"

"Over 9 or 10 years, my children experienced many musicals with Spotlight Productions. They loved the interaction with other kids and formed many life long friendships. My son’s first solo made such a great impact on his life that he ended up singing the same song to his now wife at their wedding - “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley. Both my son and daughter were able to use their experiences to get cast in their local high school and college productions. The skills and confidence they gained from their time at summer camp gave such a great foundation to build on for life skills and performance opportunities."

"My daughter loved the summer camp and would not stop singing for weeks after camp ended! I cannot believe how much she learned and how much fun she had all week. It is truly remarkable that the staff and students are able to put together an entire show within one week. I cannot wait to sign her up for next year!"
