Summer Stage
Since 1976, Upper Darby Summer Stage has inspired young people to develop the magic of their talents, personality, and energy to create magical theatrical experiences for audiences of all ages.
Named one of the Top Five Performing Arts Summer Camps in America by Playbill, over 800 young people from across the Philadelphia region come together each summer to create eight professional-quality shows over six weeks that entertain nearly 27,000 audience members.
Celebrating its 50th Season in 2025, Summer Stage not only provides young people with a chance to sing, dance and act but collaborate, problem solve and create lifelong friendships that cultivate community and fill our world with love.
Be a part of our next chapter and join onstage, backstage or in the audience!
MusicMan Academy
MusicMan Academy, supported by the Brad Schoener Memorial Fund, is dedicated to providing high-quality, enriching music education to children and adults in Upper Darby and beyond.
Our diverse programs include MusicMan Camp, JazzJam! Camp, Stellar Strings Camp, Butterfly Buddies, Delaware County Flute Choir, Sonic Sandbox, and - coming soon - AMP Camp for music production. These summer and year-round programs offer expert instruction on a wide variety of musical instruments, tailored to all skill levels and taught by experienced teaching artists.
Through music, we inspire students to grow into responsible, community-focused individuals, carrying forward Brad Schoener’s legacy of lifelong learning and engagement with the arts.
