In this fun and engaging comedy workshop, kids will be introduced to the basics of acting for comedy through a variety of games, scene work, and character exploration. Through playful improvisation activities, movement, and scripted scenes, participants will learn how timing, physicality, and character choices help bring comedy to life.

Students will explore creating bold characters, expressing big emotions, and working together as an ensemble in a supportive and inclusive environment. The focus is on building confidence, creativity, and collaboration—while having lots of laughs along the way. No previous acting experience is required—just curiosity, willingness to try, and a sense of fun!
