Adrian Cohen-Neil started a summer camp in Westwood in 2009 in response to the interest and demand shown by children and parents for good performance skills education in the area.

The camp began life as the Westwood Stage School before Adrian brought it under the umbrella of Upstage Theatre Arts Schools, his well-established theater arts organization operating out of South Pasadena.

Like its sister school, Upstage Westwood offers young performers the opportunity to develop their skills in acting, singing, and dance. The school currently runs a three week summer camp focusing on the production of a show from rehearsal through to final performance in a proper theatre, and complete with costumes, lighting and scenery. In addition to the summer camp, we also offer an after school program consisting of a scene study class held in the evening once a week.

Upstage Westwood provides young actors, singers and dancers with a creatively stimulating and enjoyable environment for them to develop their confidence, make new friends and demonstrate their talents.
