it's time to (re)connect to your childlike joy & creative expression
Which can you relate to, friend?
🌟 You're a former theater kid...
Now working a responsible, grown-up job, you feel that unscratched itch, like part of your soul isn't being expressed. Your inner 10 year old theater nerd is like, "but what about me?!"
You wonder if there's a way to fulfill your passion as an adult, without competition, judgment, or unrealistic time commitments...
🌟 With little to no experience, you're a theater lover (or "theater-curious")...
You've felt too nervous or maybe you just never had the chance to be on the one on stage, but when you see or listen to musicals, something in you comes alive!
What if there were a safe, welcoming space for you to explore, be part of a supportive community, and discover the fun and freedom waiting just beyond your comfort zone...
🌟 You're a creative or performer...
You already engage in various performing arts activities, and value them as the life-giving outlets that they are. You're hungry for MORE!!
A whole weekend immersed in musical theater fun, plus personal growth, an amazing community of new friends, and old-school camp shenanigans sounds like a DREAM...
Your new community is gathering soon, at:
inner child
THEATER CAMP
(...for grown-ups!)
INTRODUCING...
a magical musical theater
weekend camp
... for grown-ups!
DISCOVER & DELIGHT IN YOUR FREEST, MOST JOYFUL SELF
Fri. 11/14 from 6-9pm, Sat. 11/15 from 9am-6pm & Sun. 11/16 from 2-7pm in Pasadena:
Through a weekend of musical theater fun, playful and powerful self exploration and the support of a welcoming, loving community, you're invited to:
- Unplug from life's responsibilities; give yourself the PLAY that your soul is craving
- Embrace your creative, musical theater kid-at-heart, even with zero past experience
- Say goodbye to old insecurities and inhibitions that hold you back from full, authentic self-expression
- Grow beyond your comfort zone, and discover the magic on the other side
- Leave with new camp friends and a more vibrant YOU!
Meet the one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you energized and empowered:
supportive, group-focused musical theater sessions
Learn from professional teaching artists who will help you to tap into your creativity, free your voice, play with movement & dance, and shine as an ensemble in a camp musical number!
This all levels, judgment-free environment will embrace you right where you are, and allow you to find your personal next level.
No experience necessary, seriously!
growth & play practices to liberate your true, creative spirit
With moments to reflect, playful practices to expand your comfort zone (all on your terms), and heartfelt connection circles led by an experienced self love + empowerment coach, you'll feel joyfully FREE and connected to your most confidently expressive self.
Our weekend culminates in a "share-case" (our no-pressure version of a showcase), where you get to be seen and celebrated in your own way!
Forget perfectionism—we celebrate the magic of being authentically YOU!
magical community to connect & cheer you on!
The best part about theater camp?
New friends who you somehow feel like you've known forever :)
Get ready to delight your kid-at-heart with daily warm up games, impromptu singalongs and the space for silliness, presence, and connection that gets created when we're offline and free from the expectations of adulthood.
Did we mention there's a cast party at the end of the weekend?!

“I came in nervous, but quickly loved EVERYTHING about Camp- the safe space and unconditional support to literally sing & dance our hearts out and be our most authentically, colorful, imperfect, but beautiful selves!
If you're considering, and even if you're terrified like I was: LEAN IN.
A huge breath of fresh air and an amazing community is waiting for you.
I aready signed up for the next Camp; I can't wait!!"
- Shell
“I signed up for Camp in hopes of experiencing the joy & connection that musical theatre brought me in high school.
What I got was SO much more than that: a truly safe space to let go of anxiety, fear, and self-consciousness, and to let my joyful inner child run wild!
I left with more confidence and connection to the best community of people. I can't wait to be back at Camp soon!
Just jump in- you won't regret it!"
- David
musical theater
x personal growth
Do you remember what it felt like as a little kid to be completely free?
Before you ever got the memo to fit in, to play small, to dim yourself down...
Before you ever had a thought about being "good enough," singing "in tune," getting it "right," or worrying if you looked bad, silly, awkward, or out of place...
Before you encountered concepts like judgment, competition, or rejection...
The you before allll of that is your true essence, your raw spirit, your creative soul, your most uninhibited, playful, joyfully & authentically expressed self!
We can also think of this part of you as your inner child (👋 hi, little friend!)
As adults, it's so easy to lose connection with this part of ourselves.
We get wrapped up in life's routine busy-ness, obligations and responsibilities.
We put pressure on ourselves to only be seen at our best, and end up staying complacent and confined in our comfort zones.
We forget, or maybe don't know how or where to go, to tend to that playful song that's in our hearts.
I'm inviting you to ask your inner child what they want.
No really, go ahead!– you’ll probably hear something like:
〰️ I want to play!
〰️ I want to explore and discover!
〰️ I want to belong and make new friends!
〰️ I want to be seen and celebrated for being ME!
〰️ I want to sing and dance and be silly and HAVE FUN!!!
Something like that? 🙃
Musical theater, when played with in a safe, exploratory space, is a medium that allows us to feel, to connect to parts of our inner worlds and to one another, and to set our souls free through song, movement, and expression.
So honor that kid-at-heart and join us at camp for the FUN of it, but be warned:
Singing together as a community, playing, dancing, and being celebrated for being you will leave closer to your Inner Child-- that raw spirit that's ready to be expressed, joyful and free in every area of your life!
is Inner Child Theater Camp
for YOU?
(Short answer: YES 😜)
You only need 3 things to be a fit for camp:
1. A creative curiosity - something about musical theater calls to you, and you'd like to explore or deepen this creative side within you
2. An attitude of growth - you want to play, to try things on, and to discover how fun life gets on the other side of your comfort zone
3. A commitment to be supportive and welcoming - to everyone in our community, including yourself ;)
***and to be 18+
ICTC is for ALL of us who have a desire to play with our creativity (even if it's been a million years), to bring our voices together in joyful song (regardless of experience level), and to connect, come alive, and uplift each other in community.
What are you waiting for?! Join us, friend!

"Camp was MAGIC!! With the support of this amazing community, I unlocked something that I didn't know was in me!
I left with more confidence in myself and deeper self-worth than I could've dreamt. And I already signed up for the next Camp; I'm counting down the days!
If you're thinking about signing up? DO IT! It's so worth it for mind, body, and soul"
- Yvone
“I absolutely loved the spirit of Camp and the amazing, supportive energy that every single person brought!
By the end of the weekend I had gained my old self back, including allowing life to feel FUN again after years weighed down with responsibility, and a return to my love & passion for musical theater :)
All I can say is... GO!”

i'm Evin,
ICTC founder & camp director!
I'm a former theater-kid who grew up, left her first love behind, and has spent many years now belting (off tune) in my car and sitting in audiences with teary eyes of joy and nostalgia.
Musical theater makes my soul feel ALIVE, and while I'm always blown away by the skill and talent of professional performers, what really does it for me are the elements that are accessible to all of us.
〜 It's the connection to ourselves and one another
〜It's the chills and liberation we feel when our voices come together in harmony
〜It's the permission to try things on, be silly, messy, imperfect, to celebrate our authenticity, our inner weirdos, our humanity
〜It's the safe, supportive space to set down our grown-up worries, perfectionism & productivity, to get off our freakin' phones and just PLAY!!!
Inner Child Theater Camp has been brewing inside of me for years as a culmination of my work as a Self Love & Empowerment Coach, retreat facilitator, and, of course, the 8 year old theater nerd who is always with me.
I truly cannot wait to welcome you to camp! 🥹
