Every summer the Troy Arts Council Theater Committee works to bring in volunteer guest directors and creative teams to participate in a summer residency. This residency includes numerous educational opportunities, camps, and workshops. It also includes the production of a full-scale musical held in the Troy City Park.
We are so incredibly thankful for our guest directors and creative team. They volunteer their time, energy, and resources to help support our community through theater. They believe this community is worth investing in and give us so much. Learn about our team below!
