Description:

Can you create a play in just one day? You bet! In this fast-paced theatre adventure, campers will work together to dream up an original story, invent unforgettable characters, create simple costumes and props, and rehearse a brand-new show—all before the final curtain!

Through imaginative theatre games, creative movement, storytelling, and plenty of laughter, campers will build confidence, teamwork, and performance skills while discovering just how much they can accomplish together. The day wraps up with a fun, informal performance for family and friends, where everyone gets to celebrate the incredible play they created from scratch.

Perfect for imaginative kids who love to perform, tell stories, or simply try something new. No theatre experience is needed—just bring your creativity and get ready to take the stage!
