The Gateway Playhouse Theater in Somers Point is a profoundly, most important outlet for the performing arts.

Today, Friday, August 5, 2022, begins the culmination of a summer Gateway to the Arts camp, which took place at Gateway Playhouse Theater.

More than 100 children from Atlantic and Cape May Counties participated in the intensive six-week camp to prepare for these command performances.

The end result of all of their hard work will be two full-scale productions of the iconic:

Chicago High School Edition

Bye Bye Birdie
