Play in a Day
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A day-off-from-school theater camp at The Media Theatre where kids ages 7–14 build an original play with teaching artists and wrap up with a filmed performance shared with parents.
Expect a full-day drop-off program rather than a public show: students arrive in the morning, are split into groups by grade level, and spend the day inventing a story, rehearsing it, and putting it on its feet under the guidance of teaching artists. The finished product is filmed rather than performed for a live audience, so families watch the results afterward instead of buying tickets. It's a structured, collaborative, imagination-heavy day for theater-curious kids, with no extended care offered before or after.
The Media TheatreA historic 440-seat theater on State Street, the Media Theatre opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house and cinema and still retains its English Renaissance decor. The intimate setting and strong acoustics make it a beloved spot for live musicals, plays, and concerts in the heart of downtown Media.
