Laughter is the best teacher! This dynamic two-week theatre camp invites young actors to explore the art of comedy through scripted plays, sketch writing, improv games, and performance prep.

• Scripted scene and sketch work
• Physical theatre and movement games
• Improv + comic timing exercises
• Voice and speech coaching
• Set + costume creation
• Rehearsals and stage presence
