School Holiday Drama
Tantrum Drama Camps
Reimagining stories your way!
Leap off the storybook page and into the drama room! At our holiday Drama Camps, participants take classic tales and bring them to life – with a twist- through creating, making, and playing.
Drama Camps are for young adventurers who love to make up stories, role play interesting characters and build their communication and confidence. Your young artist will spend the day playing, and collaborating in groups, to bring an original story to life through performance, props, and costumes.
For ages 5-10
July Story: Lost in Neverland
Never grow up! Sail away with Peter, fly with the fairies, and outsmart the pirates.

Participants will build a world together through drama and performance, creating something special to share with family and friends at the end of the day.
