Disney’s Aladdin Jr. Summer Stage 2026

at EnKore Theatre Company

This summer, students ages 7–18 are invited to step into a whole new world through an immersive musical theatre experience unlike anything else in the Woodland area.

From June 15th through July 30th, students will rehearse, train, create, and perform Disney’s Aladdin Jr. inside a real theatre environment designed to help young performers grow in confidence, creativity, and belonging.

But Summer Stage is more than just a theatre camp.

It’s a place where students discover what they’re capable of.

Whether a student is stepping on stage for the very first time or already loves performing, EnKore creates an encouraging environment where kids are challenged creatively while supported emotionally. Students spend the summer learning acting, singing, choreography, character development, stage movement, teamwork, and performance skills while building meaningful friendships along the way.

Throughout the intensive, students experience every part of bringing a musical to life. Participants rehearse scenes and musical numbers, develop characters, explore storytelling, work with costumes and props, and gain exposure to technical theatre elements such as microphones, lighting, backstage operations, and production teamwork.

At the end of the program, students perform Disney’s Aladdin Jr. live for audiences during a multi-weekend performance run from July 31st through August 16th.

EnKore’s approach focuses on growth over perfection. Rather than creating a competitive environment centered around rejection, the program is intentionally designed to help students feel included, encouraged, and valued while participating in a high-quality theatrical production experience.

Families can expect:

• Professional-style rehearsals and performances

• A welcoming and supportive atmosphere

• Real stage experience in a theatre setting

• Confidence-building through performance

• Team-building and collaboration

• Creative exploration through theatre arts

• Mentorship from passionate instructors and directors

• A summer experience students will remember long after the final bow

Summer Stage runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with optional early drop-off and late pick-up available. Enrollment is intentionally limited to help ensure students receive mentorship, stage time, and personal attention throughout the production process.

Located in Woodland, California, EnKore Theatre Company is building a different kind of theatre experience—one where students are encouraged to grow, take creative risks, build friendships, and discover confidence both on and off the stage.

For many students, Summer Stage becomes more than just a summer activity.

It becomes the place where they finally feel like they belong.
