Gloucester Twp.'s Mainstage Resumes In-Person Summer Programs

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Mainstage Center for the Arts is back in business this summer. Mainstage will resume its in-person Summer Stage program this summer, its 33rd year of existence, the performing arts group announced.

Mainstage had to stop performing shows and holding classes last March, just as the state was shutting down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mainstage experienced financial difficulties over the course of the last year. Read more here: Pandemic Has Gloucester Twp.’s Mainstage Fighting For Survival

Mainstage is now able to resume its in-person summer programs, but there will be changes to the MT Kidz, Apprentice, and Children’s Theatre programs, according to information from the township.

This summer, each program is split into two sessions, each with its own major production, according to officials. Anyone interested in participating can do so for both sessions, but space is limited due to social distancing guidelines.

All programs will take place at Camden County College. For more information, visit mainstage.org.
