Missing drama in your life? Teen theatre camp this Friday at the St. Joseph public library!

On this day of theater camp, we will explore the art of improvisational acting and comedy. Improv is a good way to come out of your shell and try something new. If you want to build up your confidence, listening, and team-building skills, this is a great place to start.

So, if you have ever watched a group of people doing improv and thought, "I can do that..." - you are right! Just show up and we will get you started.

We want to bring teens from all experiences and backgrounds who have a shared love for acting together. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, we hope you will join us for a fun camp filled with learning, games, and lots of fun. Free of charge!
