Now in its 21st year, the 2012 BAYFEST summer program returns to gorgeous Sandpoint, Idaho. The program includes intensive professional-level acting workshops, rehearsals and performances of a full production, recreational activities, and FUN! For more information, please visit our Summer Intensive page, or download the flyer (PDF).

Since 1990, BAYFEST has provided professional-level theatre training and cultural enrichment to groups of talented young performers, aged 14 – 21, from all over the United States and Great Britain.
The BAYFEST Summer Program has been held in locations as varied as New York, London, Washington, DC, Vermont, Seattle, Newcastle on Tyne, North Wales, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Its 2012 location will be Sandpoint, Idaho.
The participants have come from the widest possible range of social and cultural backgrounds; many with scholarship assistance.
They have lived in each others’ homes; they have worked long hours rehearsing and performing productions from Shakespeare to musicals; they have laughed and cried with each other and the BAYFEST staff and teachers…
… and in many cases, they say their lives have been changed.
