About
Barrington Stage Company KidsAct! & TeensAct! offers theatre camps where participants take part in acting, improv, character development, playwriting, performance, choreography, and singing. In both programs, campers work together to create an original musical that is performed on the final day of the session. KidsAct! uses fun theatre games in a student-centered, playful, non-competitive and cooperative environment, and TeensAct! builds on these skills through ensemble-based activities and improvisation in a non-competitive, collaborative setting focused on storytelling.
