The Hugh R. Copeland Center is the downtown Norfolk home of The Hurrah Players, a youth theater company that runs musical theater day camps there for ages 5 and up. Camps run in two-week sessions from mid-June through mid-August, 9am-3:30pm with after care until 5:30pm, and cover singing, dancing and acting with no experience required; the last Friday of each session is a performance day for family and friends. Older students can instead take a teen performance camp for ages 13 and up (10am-4pm, staged at Virginia Wesleyan University), a six-week evening teen musical theater intensive, or TV and film camps for ages 12 and up covering filmmaking, photography, animation and lighting in full- and half-day formats. Registration is by phone.

★★★★★Ash ArtsBeen going here for years. Being here as a student is so much fun.
★★★★J David HilleryAlthough this is a performing arts studio, they do rent out for private parties. I attended a private party for a military friend. Hurrah Players built this studio over 9 years ago. The building was an industrial structure possibly from the 1930's. I toured the building just prior to opening. They saved three brick walls and tore the roof and floor out. Then they built on the front. It's a unique venue. Free off street parking is available in front. Enjoyed the experience.
★★★★Sharon GoodenNice space for plays and intimate atmosphere. Conveniently located and street parking available after hours for free. Bathrooms well equipped and clean.
★★★★Sandra RobinsonCute theater...a little small. I was in the front row, first seat. As the actors were exiting the stage my knee was bumped at least 3 times. Awesome show tho... The Christmas Pageant
★★★★★Kelvin BaileyWarm, cozy, professional and hospitable. I loved this place for the small production, Black Girl Magic. We loved the performance and the location.
