Theatre Experience - Arts and Media Camps

Discover the wondrous world of theatre! Creativity thrives in this action-packed week of improvisation, scene-creation, and unique characterization, backstage tech, script writing and more. Theatre Experience Camp welcomes campers of all experience levels from beginners to experienced young actors (ages 7-14).

Under the guidance of our highly skilled camp instructors and teachers, this camp introduces valuable theatre arts skills in creative drama, movement, improvisation and production design, and creating fun characters for the stage, all while rehearsing an original production! Theatre Arts Camp helps to develop a keen sense of creativity, self-confidence, communication and collaborative skills within all participants. While in a small group atmosphere, campers learn to build a story script and develop characters through creative choices in movement and sound. Our performers explore guided improvisations, group exercises, and open scenes, while creating truthful moments, specific character choices, and learning to work as a group.

The program also has added features to this exciting week, building balanced days with recreational activities outdoors, theater games, some puppet or mask making, theatrical make-up lessons, recreational swim time and also includes a nutritious lunch, with hot selections. The week culminates with campers stepping into the spotlight to perform their original production on the big stage within Appleby’s Willis Hall Theatre!
