Silverbacks Improv Theatre will be offering Summer Improv Camps for Kids and Teens this summer. While working as an ensemble, participants will learn basic improvisational theatre fundamentals, including making their own sets and props out of thin air, developing detailed characters from scratch in an instant, and channelling their spontaneity to create intricate stories without the use of scripts. Participants will showcase the lessons they’ve learned in a final showcase for friends and family on the last day of camp!

Silverbacks Summer camps create a family feeling with their small class sizes. There will be two teachers for a group of 10-15 students, which creates the opportunity for teachers to provide detailed individual instruction, and for all students to bond as a group. The Silverbacks teachers strive to create a lighthearted atmosphere for students to have fun while learning improv and making new friends.
