Young Actors Workshop with the Saugatuck Center for the Arts
June 23-27 from 1pm - 4 pm 
For kids entering grades 1st thru 4th

 (REGISTRATION OPENS ON APRIL 1, 2025)

Join us as we create and perform an original adaptation of a children's book. Campers will try their hand at playwriting while exploring the tools of the actor, learning the basics of performance, playing theater games, and connecting with each other. The camp culminates in a performance for families and friends on the last day of camp. Exploring drama helps children build confidence, learn to express themselves, and collaborate in an ensemble, while having a whole lot of fun! Whether your child is brand new to performing, or the stage is a familiar place, we’ll meet your child where they are.
