Improv Comedy
Summer Camp (ages 8–16)
Say YES—AND to the funniest week of the summer! This fast-paced, creative camp gives young performers the tools to think on their feet, write original scenes, and turn unexpected moments into comedy gold. Through improv games, character building, and collaborative writing, students build confidence, courage, and skills they’ll use onstage and in life.
🎬 This camp will be joined by the Improv Pro, Brian James O’Connell
