New week, new classes!
Join us July 20–24 for two unforgettable Summer Academy adventures:
🎤 K-Pop Idols vs. the Underworld (Ages 8–15)
Half-Day Musical Marathon
AM & PM session options available
When they're not selling out stadiums, the members of HUNTR/X secretly protect their fans from supernatural threats. Students will sing, dance, act, and bring this action-packed musical to life before sharing a workshop performance for family and friends.
🧸 Puppetmallows
Ages 5–7 (AM Session)
Ages 8–12 (PM Session)
Storytelling gets squishy in this imaginative puppet-themed drama class! Students will use Squishmallows and other everyday objects as puppet characters while exploring voice work, character creation, collaborative storytelling, and performance.
Whether your young artist dreams of being a pop star, a monster hunter, a puppeteer, or a storyteller, there's still time to make this summer unforgettable.

This time, we’re checking in with Maris McCulley Fernandes, who recently returned from helping launch the brand-new Disney Adventure as part of the original cast aboard Disney Cruise Line! ✨
Since her time at Childsplay, Maris has built an incredible career on stages around the world, including starring as Elle Woods in two international tours of Legally Blonde and as Nellie Forbush in the national tour of South Pacific. From regional theatre to Disney Cruise Line, she’s continued to bring unforgettable characters to life wherever she goes.
In this edition of Childsplay Alumni Stories, Maris shares what she’s been up to, reflects on her time at Childsplay, and talks about the role it played in her journey as a performer.
We love celebrating the amazing places our alumni go and can’t wait to share more stories with you.
