Join us for Scamp Camp 2025!
The Scoundrel & Scamp's four-week youth theatre camp during the month of June is designed to be accessible as either a modular two-week session or a month-long deep dive into stories, tales, and imagination. Scamps can easily participate in one or both sessions!
Please note that, unlike previous summers, you will need to register for each session individually if you would like to register for the full month.
Acting Through the Ages
June 2 - 13, 2025
Travel through time this summer from the flickering torches of the ancient Greek amphitheatres to the gaslamps of vaudeville to the bright lights of Broadway! We're traversing thousands of years of tradition and change, exploring how acting, plays, stage arts, and theaters themselves have evolved and grown. This camp will explore drama from ancient Greece, medieval festivals, commedia dell'arte, Elizabethan, Restoration, and contemporary eras! Join The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre for the first session of our 2025 Scamp Camp: Acting Through the Ages!
The first session will culminate in an evening showcase of devised and scripted scenes.
Scamps on the Silver Screen: Acting and the Art of Silent Films
June 16 - 27, 2025
Silent films were once the only movies, and they set the stage for all modern cinema – from Disney animations to action blockbusters. Together we will create classic black-and-white short silent films from start to finish! We will devise, write, storyboard, shoot, and act in our own original works. Camp will conclude with a red-carpet premiere of our work on the silver screen!
Session 2: Scamps on the Silver Screen: Acting and the Art of Silent Films will culminate in an evening showcase of the camper-created silent films!
