Clowning Around with Theatre in the Woods!

• For rising 6th through 9th graders only.

Theatre Outdoors! This camp for middle-schoolers is led by celebrated professional actors and clowns. No experience is necessary for this camp - just a love for performance, text analysis and laughter! Students will also create original clown pieces and build skits based in the language of the bard and Commedia del Arte and share some of their favorite skits and giggles on our final day in the forest.
