Campers spend one fabulous week creating theatre, friendships and memories inside our air-conditioned Studio!  Each day brings new games and skills: improvisation games, acting classes, physical theatre (stage combat and mask theatre), and introductions to two of the world’s greatest playwrights: Shakespeare and Molière.  Campers get to be in a scene from a play — they can memorize the lines or not, it’s their choice.  Young actors share what they’ve learned with family and fans at 2:30 pm on Friday — our Showcase Performance!  

Traveling Players summer camps and classes always offer expert training in acting, character creation, physical comedy, stage combat, improvisation, and text analysis. 

We also value the spirit of the ensemble. Our ensemble- and team-building adventures create a strong, supportive cast and friendships that will last a lifetime. 

Your final day at camp will end with a Showcase Performance!
