The Cape Playhouse Theatre School runs one- and two-week summer courses on its Dennis campus, each themed around a popular Broadway show, in which students study acting, singing and dancing and stage a live production on the final day. Camp meets Monday-Friday, 9:30am-3:30pm, with a 1:00pm performance on the last Friday of each session; classes are capped at 25 students. Groups are split by age, 6-10 and 11-18, and campers bring a bagged lunch and spend part of each day outdoors. Families enrolling more than one student receive a 10% sibling discount.

★★★★★Yuji KuzuharaBeautiful venue with excellent program. Went for the first time to see Come From Away which had several original Broadway cast members. Stellar!
★★★★★Bonnie FlahiveA good selection of musicals every summer for many years. Recently attended Rent and it was outstanding. Housed in an old Cape Meeting House. You must be able to climb stairs and tolerate uncushioned seating. Lovely to spend intermission outdoors on a summer evening!
★★★★★Mike RichardsWe love seeing plays here when we're on the Cape. Saw "Rent" today. The singing was great. The story line was a bit hard to get fully, but I understood it basically. I have never seen Rent before.
★★★★★Erika Musselman39 Steps (seen on 8/31/2024) was outstanding! The actors, three of whom played multiple roles, were truly amazing!! However, if you're expecting a serious thriller, as the original Hitchcock film was, you should be aware that the Monty Python runs strong and deep in this version, making it laugh-out-loud funny! Seeing a production at the Cape Playhouse is both stepping into a wonderful slice of history and seeing a broadway-quality summer show all rolled up in one glorious experience! Highly recommended!!
★★★★★Natalie MannMillion Dollar Quartet was outstanding! The singers were great and the actor playing Jerry Lee Lewis was hilarious! The theater had so much history too, it was fun to hear about it!
