The Monday after camp is painfully quiet. There is no longer 87 young artists in our building giving it their all to put on a show of a lifetime.

As we walk back into the theatre, we reflect on the amazing memories made at Broadway Jr. Summer Intensive Camp 2026.

To our campers, we can’t wait to see what you do next with your newfound confidence and skills.

To our camp staff, get some rest! You deserve it!

Signing off, Wildcats! Until next year!

A message from Education Director, Xerron X Mingo, “High School Musical, JR is officially SOLD OUT.”

All performances are totally sold out, but if you’re feeling lucky, you can arrive at the theatre one hour prior to showtime to join the waitlist. Tickets are not guaranteed just because you join the waitlist. taken in Jackson, Mississippi by @newstage.ed

‼️⚠️Low Ticket Warning, Wildcats!⚠️‼️

Produced by New Stage’s Broadway Junior Summer Camp Intensive, the Disney Channel’s smash hit movie High School Musical comes to life on stage! It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the New Year. Basketball team captain and resident jock Troy discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical, led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. Disney’s High School Musical, JR. is fun for the whole family!

See two different youth casts perform on alternate show dates! Contact the box office at 601.948.3533 for more information or visit www.newstagetheatre.com today!
