Wellesley Theatre Project (WTP) is a nonprofit performing arts organization at the Wellesley Community Center offering summer camps from pre-K (age 4) through 12th grade. One-week specialty camps cover acting/drama, musical theatre, dance, voice and technical theatre on themed schedules; multi-week production camps run Monday-Friday 9:00am-4:00pm and culminate in three public performances of a fully staged show, and a three-week technical theatre camp puts grades 6-12 on the tech crew. Camps are grouped by the grade a child enters in the fall, and need-based scholarships plus sibling and multi-camp discounts are available.

★★Anonymous ReviewerMy main problem with the program is that it is advertised as being inclusive to all levels. However, this is not the case in my experience. The high cost does not match the experience. I was involved in a few shows and noticed that the same group of kids got the lead roles and solos year after year. I committed a lot of time and money into this program but did not receive the opportunity or chance to improve at all. The staff focuses a lot on skill building and how to act on stage, this is good for people who are serious about improving their acting ability. While this works for people at a higher level, the majority of people were younger and not at this level yet. It resulted in the same five students taking the lead while most of the kids sat in the back. If you are a beginner, I would not recommend this program. The teachers expect a lot from a really young demographic. The whole experience overall is very intense and it is hard to break through and really improve when much of the attention is focused on the same people. This is just my experience, and if you are at an advanced level it could definitely be extremely fun and helpful.
★★★★★Rene TorgersenWellesley Theater Project has an incredibly talented group of instructors who introduce children to everything from Disney productions to classics. The staff is very dedicated to the kids, and our girls absolutely love this place. The high number of kids and families who return to participate in more productions make it easy for the kids to develop long-term friendships, really make it seem more like a large theater "family".
