The stage is more than a place to perform
It’s a place to prepare
About ArtXecute
At ArtXecute, we harness the power of the arts to help students develop discipline, resilience, and compassion—skills that will serve them well beyond the stage. Through the rigor of rehearsal, the vulnerability of expression, and the demands of collaboration, we prepare students to succeed in their own lives and to make lasting impact in the lives of others.
Using the power of performance
to teach the disciplines of life

ArtXecute’s 2026 Summer Theatre Workshop
The stage is more than a place to perform—it’s a place to prepare.
This summer, ArtXecute invites students ages 8–18 to join us for our FREE six-week Summer Theatre Workshop, where creativity meets confidence, discipline, and growth.
From July 6 through August 14, students will train with experienced teaching artists in:
Acting
Singing
Dance
Tumbling
Hosted at the Dillard Goldsboro Alumni Center (801 Poplar Street, Goldsboro), this exciting summer experience is designed for students who love the arts—and for those who are simply ready to try something new.
At ArtXecute, we believe the skills developed through the performing arts extend far beyond the stage. Through expert instruction, teamwork, creative expression, and performance training, students build confidence, discipline, communication skills, and resilience that will serve them in school, on stage, and in life.
This summer’s workshop will be led by an outstanding team of teaching artists, including:
Barbara Jones – Acting Instructor & Director of Matilda
Titus Pollard – Vocal Instructor & Music Director of Matilda
Colette Sherard – Dance Instructor & Choreographer of Matilda
Stephany Taylor — Dance Instructor & Choreographer of Matilda
Mikayla Whitted-Powell — Tumbling Instructor
Whether your child dreams of the spotlight or simply needs a place to grow, belong, and discover their voice, ArtXecute’s Summer Theatre Workshop is a place to begin.
Registration is free, but space is limited.
