Welcome!

Theatre and kids go together like peanut butter and jelly. Kids are naturally creative. Our aim is to nurture these natural talents and allow them to grow. We believe studying the art and craft of theatre offers opportunities to learn a love of the arts as well as valuable life skills. While creating a full production, participants will also learn to work as a team and build language and communication skills, self-confidence, and respect. All participants will have a part in the production, help build the set and design the costumes. This is a hands-on, full-participation, fun-filled two-week session of theatre magic!

In the two week camp session participants will learn:

Theatre basics
Movement
Improvisation
Production basics
How to be a good performer
Being a good audience member
Character development

No previous experience is necessary. We believe that every child is a natural star!

Open to All Rising 3rd thru 9th Graders

July 9-20

With dress rehearsal on July 20th and Final Performance on July 21st at 6 p.m. in Whitman Theatre on the Virginia Western Campus.
