MISSION STATEMENT

The Panther Playhouse was created in June of 2023 by Brinley Edwards and Drew Bongiovanni. Both being educators, we aim to provide a fun, educational, and inspiring experience for students who have a passion for theater in a safe and supportive environment where they can learn and grow as performers and individuals.

Through a combination of improvisation techniques, rehearsal, and performance, we strive to help each student develop their skills in acting, singing, and dancing, as well as build confidence and self-expression. We believe in the power of theater to foster creativity, teamwork, and a sense of community, and we aim to instill these values in our students.

Our goal is to create dynamic and engaging musical productions that showcase the talents of our students, celebrates the joy of theater and acts as a feeder program to the arts education programs we already have at Middle Township. We hope to inspire a lifelong love of the performing arts in our campers and to provide them with an experience that they will remember for years to come.
