This scene study day camp for young performers gets everyone to working to solve the mystery! Using scripted material from classic kid-friendly “Who Done It?” films and shows like Spy Kids, Enola Holmes, and The Mysterious Benedict Society, kids get immersed in the world of the detective and work on multiple exciting roles. As they do, they learn the fundamentals of script analysis, character development, and how to make strong and specific choices. Finally, they play beloved theater games that get them working together using improvisation and immersed in an exciting narrative they devise.

Ever wonder what the snakes on Medusa’s head talk about? Ever seen an infomercial for Arachne’s loom? Do you know what you would do if you came face-to-face with a Minotaur? In this dynamic camp, classic Greek myths come alive as students perform short plays based on classic tales! Part acting class, part improv class, kids create their own myth mash-up in addition to staging scripted one-acts. This is great early exposure to mythology and scene study techniques.

Monday, February 20 – Friday, February 24

Song and spoken-word poetry also by Dahl will augment our rehearsal process.

Campers can enroll in one or all days. All days will have a different focus and new scenes assigned.
Pricing is $125 per child, per day.

Yes…And! In this dynamic improv class, students learn the tools to think on their feet, listen and respond with wit, and be creative in the moment. We start each class with warm-ups, shaking out inhibitions, and then we move into games that foster collaboration. Students get practice being spontaneous, collaborative and hilarious while making something they can be proud of. Improvisation is not only a great part of the actor’s toolbox, it is a powerful social skill that gets kids trusting their instincts, shifting perspective, and most importantly having fun!

Campers can enroll in one or all days. All days will have a different focus and games!
Pricing is $125 per child, per day.
