What is a day at theatre camp like?
Each day is a little different, but for the most part, mornings are spent learning the scenes, songs, and dances that are part of the play. During this time, students work together with children of a variety of ages to collaborate on the production. Most afternoons, students participate in age-specific workshops in theatre topics like improv, stage combat, storytelling, dance, musical theatre, etc. The specific topics vary each year. On Friday, the students perform for their friends, family, and the public, complete with sets, costumes, props, and music, which have all been professionally designed and built for the students.
Our advanced limited-enrollment camp details:
How much are tickets to the public performance?
Each student registered receives two tickets for the performance. Additional tickets are available at the door 30 minutes prior to the performance. Additional adult tickets are $5 and student tickets are $3.
What is the camp location like?
Howards Grove High School Auditorium is a brand new facility, fully-equipped for educating and entertaining families. We will spend the majority of our time in their lovely theatre space. In addition, some of our programming will take place in several small classroom spaces on-site.
Kohler Memorial Theatre is a fantastic auditorium designed for professionally staged productions. The space is air-conditioned, so students may find that having a light-sweater/jacket will benefit them as it can get quite chilly. Some of the activities may take place in the nearby gymnasium and theatre lobby. We do ask parents remember this is a summer activity that is includes a lot of movement and physicality and to help students dress appropriately.
What if I have questions?
A lot of questions are answered in our Camp FAQ. If your question isn't answered there, you can give us a call at 773.893.0535 or email us at camps@ccdramatics.com. We'll do our best to answer any questions you might have!

The educators were fantastic - they more than exceeded my expectations. We absolutely loved them all!
They were such positive influences that one of my sons came home saying he wanted to do what they do when he grows up.
Thank you for being so awesome!
