Performing Arts Spaces At Long Lake
Long Lake has some of the very best professional venues for our singers, actors, dancers and musicians to star on. Our 4 theaters offer us an unrivalled range of sizes and characters suited to both beginners and advanced performers. These are not multiuse spaces but dedicated professional venues specially designed for different performing needs. We have a theater for large scale musicals, dance performances (Rylee), one for comedies, drama and smaller musicals (Cain’s Playhouse), one for Rock concerts and Music concerts (PAC) and we one for stand-up comedy, improve and black box theater (Ray Standup). Many camps use their gym but Long Lake is offering performing arts to a very high standard of both acting and technical theater and we need university level production facilities. We use a 24 channel professional wireless microphone system and every camper gets a hand tailored costume, making every camper feel like they are stepping out onto a Broadway stage.
