FOR ALL CAMPS: Wear comfortable clothing and bring a lunch.

Throughout the summer we host 4 different focuses!

Improv Games / Shortform:
Come and master the fundamentals of improv games and short scenes. Through an introduction to character, storytelling, and giving and taking focus, every camper will walk away with a vast knowledge of theatre games.

Character:
Everyone has interesting characters in their life. A funny uncle, a cooky cousin. Learn how to develop different characters and put them into scenes. Through a series of improv games and exercises each camper will have at least two characters in their back pocket.

Story:
Tell the best story! Through a series of improv games and exercises learn how to introduce characters, build conflict and find a resolution. Every scene tells a story!

Improv and Sketch:
Improv and sketch can go arm in arm. Through storytelling, character creation and reincorporation learn how improv can be used as a writing tool. Age appropriate sketches and scenes from Second City, Saturday Night Live, Monty Python and more will be viewed.
