This fun summer program is a great introduction to the magic of theatre. The young actor explores the dramatic arts through story telling, improvisation, art, and voice & movement.

INFO FOR CAMPERS
What should I bring?
Snacks: Each day of camp, bring a snack and drink. No refrigerator, microwave, or vending machine will be available. Please do NOT bring: glass containers, chewing gum, headsets or video games.
What should I wear?
Wear closed-toed shoes and clothes that let you move comfortably. We suggest t-shirts, shorts and tennis shoes. You will be climbing stairs and doing physical activities that may require sitting or lying on the floor. Bring a smock or cover-up (an old oversized shirt, for example) that will protect your clothes from paint, glue, make-up, etc. used in technical theatre and craft classes.
Is there a performance?
Yes! On the last day of camp, you and your fellow campers will present a short play for friends and family.
What’s a typical day at camp like?
Each day of camp is packed with activities! You'll get to learn improv games, storytelling, use costumes and props in the scenes you create, make arts and crafts, and much, much more!
What else should I know about camp?
We welcome all young actors to our camp. The Hippodrome is a professional theater, and in order to maintain a professional atmosphere, we ask that you:
• Behave in a manner that respects yourself, other campers, Hippodrome staff, and Hippodrome property.
• Wear appropriate clothing.
• Fully participate. In scenes and partner work, other campers will count on you to learn your lines and know your part. Make yourself and your partner look good.
• Do not go anywhere in the building without a teacher's knowledge and permission.
• Stay on the premises until your instructor releases you to an authorized person.
• Do not bring glass containers, chewing gum, headsets or video games to camp.
