Add Some Drama to Your Summer with Main Street Theater! 🌟

Hey Houston Mamas! Are you looking for the perfect way to keep your kiddos entertained, engaged, and creative this summer? As part of our Houston Local Mommy Life Summer Fun Guide, we are thrilled to spotlight Main Street Theater’s 2026 Summer Camp: Performing Arts Playground!

At Main Street Theater (MST), all your kids need is a voice, a body, and a big imagination. Instead of just memorizing pre-written lines, your kids get to step into a performing arts playground where they collaborate to create an entirely original play and movement piece. With the support and guidance of professional teaching artists, your children will take charge of all aspects of their performance. Fellow moms report that the camps are challenging, safe, and incredible for stimulating communication skills, teamwork, and creativity.

Programs for Every Age and Stage

Whether you have a tiny tot or a high schooler, MST has something for everyone, with programs accommodating ages 4 through 18.

• Ages 4-5: The Museum District location offers half-day camps (9 am – Noon) perfect for the little ones. One mom raved that her 4-year-old's camp took her child's daily role-play to the next level with music and games, culminating in an adorable final presentation!

• Ages 6-14: There are one- and two-week camps in multiple locations, plus flexible "Turbo Camps" in Rice Village where you can sign up for just one day or as many as you wish.

• Ages 11-18: Older kids can join the Summer Classical Company (formerly Summer Shakespeare) at the Rice Village location.
