"Pantochino is the most creative, kind and genius theatre camp while still being affordable, efficient and nurturing"
Pantochino’s wildly popular, award-winning Summer Theatre Camp is presented by the Milford Arts Council at the MAC in Downtown Milford. It has been dubbed by the campers as “The Most Fun. Ever!” The appeal and acclaim of the camp is a reflection of what we do—100% original and completely unmatched programs for actors and audiences. Here at Pantochino, we are professional theatre artists working in the industry—actors, director, composers, dancers, designers—who love sharing our experiences with young people. We believe this is what sets us apart, and makes our camps the most fun. Ever!

Our cast members love to show off their Pantochino T-Shirts available in youth sizes. Be sure to order them early! Thank you to our friends at West Shore Associates for making these products available to our Summer Theatre Camp families.
Each session of Summer Theatre Camp is a unique five-day experience (Four days of rehearsal and one performance day). In this short time, our campers will learn, rehearse and perform an original musical written expressly for Pantochino. We’ve reimagined Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid as “The Ethel Mermaid,” where one tiny mermaid longs to be on Broadway! At Pantochino, Aladdin gets a 1960's super groovy make over and Little Red Riding Hood journeys to the wild, wild west! You get the idea.
Pantochino’s Summer Theatre Camp is conveniently located in Downtown Milford, is fully air-conditioned and is a very affordable option with no registration fees, no advertising obligations and no hidden fees. Parents and families can actually see the performance without any ticket cost! We also offer discount rates for siblings attending camp together!
