Summer Programs Ages 5 to 12
The Improv Athlete Program
This innovative program is designed to nurture the all-around athlete. One hour of athletics designed specifically for the ability level and athletic style of your group is paired with one hour of improvisation games and team-building exercises.
Athletic training concentrations can include basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, volleyball, and general cross-training. This pairing of sports and Improv builds confidence, quick-thinking, resilience, self-forgiveness, and improves kids’ abilities to take physical and verbal cues by sharpening focus and awareness. All while playing games and laughing our heads off!
And no, you don’t have to be funny to do Improv!

College Prep Bootcamp
This weeklong program is for incoming high school seniors applying to music, acting, musical theatre, or theatre design/production BFA and BA programs in the upcoming Fall. Students will focus on essay and personal statement writing and revising, admission repertoire selection, and organizing the often overwhelming submission requirements and deadlines of the collegiate admissions process. Students will complete the week with finished drafts of their personal statements and at least two supplemental essays, in addition to having a spreadsheet breakdown of their top 10 college program requirements. The program typically caps at 10 students.
