Summer Camps

Summer Camps (Summer 2012 Dates to be Announced Soon)

An action-packed drama camp taught by Philadelphia area theatre professionals. Young actors spend the week working as a team to create a play—full of drama, comedy, suspense, mystery, and action! They are guided through playwriting, fun improvisational games and acting exercises that encourage creativity and self-confidence. Students will also learn the basics of stagecraft, how to speak loudly and clearly, how to work in teams, how to accept and respect others' ideas, and how to criticize constructively. On the last day, they perform their world premiere play for an audience using props and costumes!
