The 2008
An innovative drama program for 6-13 year olds
If you love making FRIENDS who share your interests… If you want to learn from top-notch PROFESSIONALS… If you're up for a great CHALLENGE……The Summer Acting Camp for Kids is for YOU! ABOUT THE SUMMER ACTING CAMP The Theatre Lab's Summer Acting Camp for Kids is a fun, high-energy program that allows young people to fully engage their imagination as they experience the thrill of creating live theatre. From learning the basic techniques of acting for the stage, to developing improvisation and physical comedy skills, to putting it all together in a public performance, it's a summer your child will never forget. Taught by some of Washington's best-known theatre professionals and educators, The Theatre Lab's summer camp is a great way to discover the joys of drama, explore the creative self, and make wonderful new friends. Campers participate in a wide variety of theatre activities—including improvisation, scene study, storytelling, creative writing, group singing, and mime—all taught by caring artists and teachers dedicated to meeting each child at his or her level. Classes emphasize drama games and exercises designed to increase spontaneity, engage the imagination, promote self-confidence, and encourage ensemble spirit. At the end of each two-week session, students share their work in a free performance open to the public. At The Theatre Lab, we also understand that kids can't live by drama alone. That's why each day also includes group games and sports in a brand new gymnasium, arts and crafts, and social time for relaxing and playing board games. Each session has a different focus, and you can sign up for just one two-week cycle or as many as you want. Past sessions have included African Folktales, Shakespeare, Japanese Puppet Theatre, Broadway Showstoppers and more. No prior drama experience is required.
The program is held at our new home by the Gallery Place Metro (733 8th Street, NW) - a facility that features a 225-seat theatre, beautifully renovated classrooms, a gymnasium and more, just steps from the MCI Center .
