Over 1,000 students participated in Levine’s Summer Programs

Our Summer Music and Arts Day campers explored the music of the stars, moon, sun and planets, and along the way learned how to "Catch a Falling Star" - check out more photos and videos from the music and arts camps.

Other students participated in week long sessions to perfect their skills in jazz, cabaret, electric guitar, fiddling, strings and saxophone.

Act Two Performing Arts joins Levine to form Act Two @ Levine

Act Two Performing Arts has become part of the Levine family, to form Act Two @ Levine and to offer the region’s most dynamic student musical theater program. Together, the natural blending of these two organizations will create a strong and innovative music theater educational presence, offering students performance opportunities, vocal coaching, and theater training.

Act Two @ Levine’s season will open with a production of Les Miserables with rehearsals at Levine School's Maryland campus at the Music Center at Strathmore. This production is open to all middle and high school aged students. The season will also include a Rep Theater/Showcase group c*mpani, a high school aged performing ensemble open to cast members 14 - 18 years old. Stay tuned for the announcement of an all middle school show and all high school show later this academic year. More about Act Two @ Levine.
