7th-8th Grade Programs - The Theatre Lab

7th-8th Grade Programs

For students entering 7th and 8th grade, we offer one and four-week summer sessions. Read on for additional information about dates, times, and programs.

At The Theatre Lab, our summer camp programs are divided into groups based on the grade that the student is entering in the fall.  We place all children with their peers based on grade regardless of theatre experience.  Camp is a very social experience and we want to make sure they are with a developmentally appropriate group. We keep our classes small and group age ranges narrow in order to provide both a challenging, engaging, and age-appropriate curriculum. Read about our philosophy.

One-Week Sessions

Fun and fast-paced, our one-week sessions are designed to increase students’ ability to create spontaneously, connect with one another on the stage, use their bodies and voices more expressively, develop unique characters, and have fun with the art of making theatre. These camps are focused on improvisation work that will benefit actors of all experience levels.  These sessions culminate in skills demonstrations for friends and family rather than scripted performances.
