Kids & Family
Theatre & Acting at the Academy of Creative Arts
Step into the spotlight and come shine on stage during our one-week play production workshops!
What better way to combat the summer slump than get your imagination and creativity back into full throttle? At the Academy of Creative Arts, children are given the amazing opportunity to tap into their acting skills and put on a theatrical production for friends and family. Young actors of all skill levels aged 8-14 are welcome to sign up for the one-week theatre workshop from August 6th - 10th.
The acting and theatre program at ACA is the ultimate arts experience, guiding students from rehearsal to performance. During the week, students will have a blast learning new acting techniques, building self confidence and having fun. They collaborate with others not only through rehearsals, but also through the process of preparing stage materials and props together. As they make new friends, children also learn the importance of teamwork.. Every student is encouraged to explore their potential in a safe, encouraging environment, and individual attention is given to each child as they embark on their theatrical journey. On the Friday of each week, students present the culmination of their hard work to friends, family, and the general public.
The camp takes place from 9AM-6PM, although early drop-off is available from 8AM and extended day care continues until 6PM for parents with busy schedules. We ask that students bring their own lunch and snack for each day.
In addition to cultivating social skills overall, participation in theatre activities has been shown to boost students' confidence, leading to a greater potential of academic achievement. The act of performing can help students and youth recognize their abilities while also heightening memorization and public speaking skills. Time and time again, studies have demonstrated a correlation between drama involvement and higher standardized test scores, and overcoming performance anxiety is most effective at a young age. Children will enjoy the unique experience while all aspects of their mind and body are utilized in a creative and challenging way. Make sure to sign up soon, as spots are limited!
