The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem is bringing its popular summer camps back starting this June through August. Campers will expand their creativity and communication skills, which will serve them well onstage and off. With eight unique camp options, there is guaranteed fun for campers of all ages and experience levels!

The fun begins June 24th with Shrek The Musical JR., a performance-based camp where campers will immerse themselves and bring the fairytale story of Shrek to life. It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Shrek The Musical JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

This camp runs from June 24th-28th and July 1st-12th, with performances on July 12th and July 13th at 7:00 p.m.

Make A Scene with us! This is a week-long camp where campers will explore the parts of a scene – characters, set, costumes and story. They will learn basic stage direction and theatre skills while creating their own scene to perform. This is storytelling with the actions of an on-stage performance!

This camp runs from July 8th-12th for grades K-4 and July 15th-19th for grades 5-8.

Creating The Character is the most fundamental part of acting. In this week-long camp, campers will explore how their voices, bodies and facial expressions change a character. They will gain an understanding of how a character’s motivations shape the decisions they make.

This camp will run from July 15th-19th for grades K-4 and July 22nd-26th for grades 5-8.

From July 22nd-26th, campers will create plenty of Creative Movement. Movement allows us to express feelings, tell a story and keep us active in a fun and exciting way. Campers will explore different creative movements that go beyond dancing in a way that allows them to express themselves freely.

This camp is for grades K-4.

Tell Me A Story is from July 29th to August 2nd. This camp allows the campers to become storytellers. We will explore how their voices and body movements can help tell a story while also exploring different kinds of storytelling including traditional, puppet and improvisational.

This camp is for grades K-4.

Theatre is a way of storytelling in real time. With this week-long camp, we Bring A Story To Life. In this camp, campers will explore the different ways, places and styles of storytelling.

This camp will run from July 29th-August 2nd for grades 5-10.

Let’s Laugh together! Campers will explore elements of comedy including how to tell a joke, what expressions to use and how it all ties together to create a witty, laugh-out-loud story.

This camp will run from August 5th-9th for grades K-4.

Up your theatre game with Intro to Improv. Campers will improve their acting skills as well as their public speaking and confidence skills, which can be used outside of the performing arts.
