About Summer Stage
For the last 25 years, Westfield Summer Stage has brought together talented high school students each summer for our pre-professional summer program. We attract talented students from across the region to audition and work tech for our summer musical. These students learn from top theatre educators – and they put on a high-quality musical in less than five weeks! Actors and tech students in grades 8th grade and up can participate. Actor participation is by audition.
