Celebrating our 23rd year of Music Lessons and Theater Camps in Chicago. Thank you!
Program Description
This summer, young artists become the creators! In this collaborative weekly class, children will write their own original scripts, assign characters and roles, and bring their stories to life on stage. Along the way, they'll build fundamental acting skills and even compose original music to accompany their production.
More than just a theater class, Young Playwrights Workshop is about teamwork, friendship, and trust. Working together toward a shared creative vision, students will discover the confidence that comes from being both the author and the performer of their own story.
A truly one-of-a-kind experience where imagination leads the way.
