Become part of a tight-knit ensemble where you can stretch your imagination and grow your skills. Comedy Ensemble - Jesters is one of two options (along with Thespian Ensemble) in our vibrant cohort of middle school actors. This camp is designed to release the creativity of each performer. Learn foundational skills for theater (and life): clarity of thought and action, mental agility, spontaneity, active listening & responding, leading & following, and creative problem solving. Improvisation is the most important tool in the actor’s toolbox—and the best part is that you’re only doing it right if you’re having fun!
Daily rehearsals progress from bonding the ensemble into a well-oiled machine to theatre games to longer improvisations and group storytelling. At the end of your adventure, your ensemble will use suggestions from a live audience to create an original show and make theatrical magic on the spot. You'll perform an improvised masterpiece – never seen before or again!
At Traveling Players, we believe the best way to learn is by having fun. Our staff are professional teaching artists with many years of experience in theatre, teaching, and joy! Staff are supportive of each individual’s growth and are masters at ensuring that each student can shine.
With a return rate of 70%, our community has been forming life-long friendships for over two decades. Those friendships are grounded in kindness, and we are proud of our exceedingly welcoming students, who make sure that no one is left out of the ensemble—right from the start.
