Program Description
Outdoor Theater Program
Over the course of this weeklong intensive, actors will work with professionals to hone their ensemble skills and learn the basics of sketch comedy. We will generate ideas, create situations and settings, identify absurdities, write and perform our own sketches and bring them to hilarious conclusions.
SHARED PERFORMANCE
Each week culminates in a socially distanced Friday afternoon outdoor sharing at 2:30 PM for a limited audience of family and friends. Sign up for one week or for the entire summer!
