Camp Description:

Every great story starts with a spark. In this dynamic camp, students explore the essential building blocks of playwriting. Through improv games, story‐structure activities, character- development exercises, and performance skills, students will craft an original story from the ground up. Working together as an ensemble, they’ll shape their script, invent memorable characters, and bring their story to life on stage.
