Create a Play
For Elementary Ages - Young actors wear many theatrical hats: playwright, collaborator, actor, and designer, developing original plays, creating dynamic characters, and performing their final product.
Students can attend multiple weeks as new plays are created during each summer camp session.
Theater Bootcamp
An intensive designed to provide middle schoolers with a solid foundation for the young performer, beginners, and those with some onstage experience.
Fairytales Onstage
This class offers elementary-aged young actors the opportunity to join an ensemble of actors working together to dramatize classic and contemporary fantasy stories on stage.
The week culminates with a final sharing of highlights and stories for family and friends.
Welcome to Theater
Students ages 12-14 will explore character creation and storytelling, which is at the heart of acting on the stage. They will experience a wide variety of activities focused on basic theater concepts such as ensemble, actor's tools, sharing the stage, dialogue, and action.
Improvisation
Teens and tweens will learn improvisation is a fun team sport! Students will discover a newfound confidence and appreciation for the fearless actor.
Play Production
In this intensive workshop, students will follow the theatrical process from beginning to end. Within the context of a published play, students will audition for roles, memorize lines, learn stage movement, create dynamic characters, and finally perform for a live audience onstage. As in any full production, it will be complete with costumes, props, and a set.
For middle school students, August 14 - 18
For elementary ages, August 21 - 25
