The summer of 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the largest theatre camp in Central Texas—the Austin ISD Summer Theater Series—held at the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center. Since its inception, the program has expanded to include the Rising Stars Camp, a one-week instructional experience for students in grades 6 through 12 who are new to acting, singing, and dancing. The series also features two performances: a one-act style play in the PAC’s 200-seat Black Box theater and a large-scale musical in the 1,200-seat proscenium Main Hall theater.
In 2024, AISD fully funded the camp for 250 students from 43 campuses, providing resources for teachers, theatrical supplies, meals, and transportation. This initiative was made possible through the Austin ISD Fine Arts Department, led by Executive Director Phillip Taylor.
