Video Zone! July 15 – 20: Video games and the virtual world come alive as we use this fun theme to explore theatre! We’ll use our imaginations and creativity to become exciting characters, act out scenes, learn songs and more! Camps will feature active learning in music, creative movement, and acting centered around our fun theme! Appropriate for the theatre newbie just as much as the returning camper.

Tuition is $160 for this one-week half day program

Full-day Camps for ages 8-14 years old include:

Imagine A Dragon! July 8 - 13: The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery, to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day? An epic folk-rock score brings magic to this funny, heartfelt fantasy musical.

Tuition is $225 for this 1-week, full-day camp.

Kokonut Island! July 22 – August 3: Cordelia and her kids on storm-devastated Kokonut Island need to earn money. So they open Kokonut High, a school that guarantees graduation to every student… for a huge tuition fee. Along with the minuscule number of students that arrive, a crime syndicate also shows up. To make matters more hysterical, the ghost of Cap’n Kidd appears, telling everyone to get off his island! But Swampy, deemed crazy by the island inhabitants, is the only one who can see the ghost. A zany set of characters such as happy-go-lucky students, long-lost guests and two girls who think they’re going to wed the same boy, also wander the island. When an accreditation team from the stateside demands to meet the school faculty (that doesn’t exist!), this musical really is thrown overboard. Laughter extraordinaire will fill your house when the uproarious finale comes.

Tuition is $325 for this 2-week, full-day camp.

Daily schedule includes classes which help build skills in acting, movement, improvisation, music, and cooperative abilities. Students will learn all aspects of theatre in this hands-on learning opportunity. The Majestic fosters a close student-teacher relationship that helps us meet the needs of every young artist. Our goal is to tailor the experience your child will have as they are given the attention and interaction they need to be successful in having a GREAT time learning about theatre and performing arts. A culminating camp showcase will be held on the final Saturday of each camp.

All camps will be held at The Majestic Academy of Dramatic Arts located at 880 Page Street in Manchester. Tuition includes all camp materials, camp t-shirt and afternoon popsicles.
