Why Us?

Showdown is more than a theater program, it is a unique world where your child is empowered, accepted and transformed through the arts. All our classes are taught by working industry pros who bring their expertise to a safe and supportive environment.  Teens get lots of individual attention, healthy meals, and quality downtime. They'll return home uplifted, excited and eager to share their adventure.   

 

Mission

Our mission is to help bring out the personal potential in all kids.

"I honestly could never thank the teachers
enough for the life changing education in the
theater arts that they gave my children this
summer.  Not only did they give them an
excellent education in every aspect of theater,
they created a safe, fun and stimulating
environment for the teens to be highly motivated and fully responsible for
getting the most possible out of this experience."
