Description: This camp will stretch your imagination! We will use fun improvisational exercises to teach students the importance of listening, being present, and taking risks. Students develop the skills to be fearless, spontaneous, vulnerable, and authentic in every performance on and off the stage. At the end of camp on Friday, we will hold a small showcase where we invite interested families to watch their children perform. Audience members will guide the cast in making up spontaneous stories and playing fun theater games to show what they have learned.
