Description

We are so excited to make theatre with you this summer!

Summer camp is all about playing drama games, making new friends, having fun, and creating a show that will be performed on a YPT stage! Camps will take place July 4 – August 25 at YPT 161 Studios – our brand new facilities just across the road from the theatre on Front Street. Brand new camps include Clown and Physical Theatre, Playwriting for Teens, and the return of Spoken Word and Musical Theatre! Plus, we’re offering After-Camp Fun for all grades. See details below.
