Creative Root Announces 2023 Summer Theatre Camps

Spend your summer with Creative Root where campers are encouraged to be their best, silliest, and most creative selves!

Each session, campers will learn how to collectively build a story and bring it to life in a culminating performance, all while making new friends! Creative Root believes there's a creative spark in all of us just waiting to blossom!

Week One: The Fundamentals

During the first week of camp, the focus is on building the ensemble, making new friends, theater games and exercises, an introduction to the actor's tools, and the basics of acting. We'll investigate the world of a story and its characters, explore scriptwriting with writing prompts and develop an original script together.

Weeks Two & Three: Putting It All Together

The second week brings the story to life through rehearsals and design elements focusing on props, costumes, and shaping what the world looks like. As we work through the week, we'll rehearse scenes for our final performance video to be shared with families and friends. The awesome part about summer camp is that each camp experience is unique to its ensemble and how they envision their story together!
