Child’s Play NY
In Child’s Play NY holiday camps, students escape into fantastic realms through great stories, creative movement and games galore! Led by professional actors, they flex their imaginative muscles and learn theater skills that inspire self-confidence and community. Whether solving a mythic mystery, helping a character by way of a scavenger hunt, rehearsing a new scene or having a dance-off…joyful collaboration is at the center of it all.

Stoke your creativity, find your funny bone, and exercise your imagination in this dynamic theater arts class. Led by professional actors from Child’s Play NY, students get to play with their peers and learn new games and story-telling techniques. The class involves gross-motor workouts that warm-up the actor’s instrument, followed by improv and acting technique work. Young people learn how to think on their feet, work spontaneously and give their creativity a work-out. Classic myths and fables are the springboard for new scripts that are developed throughout the course of the semester. Prioritize play and bring expressivity center stage this week!
Ages 7-11: Improvaganza at 121 Pierrepont Street
April 6, 7, and 10-14 from 9a-3p

Yes…And! In this dynamic improv class, students learn the tools to think on their feet, listen and respond with wit, and be creative in the moment. We start each class with warm-ups, shaking out inhibitions, and then we move into games that foster collaboration. Students get practice being spontaneous, collaborative and hilarious while making something they can be proud of. Improvisation is not only a great part of the actor’s toolbox, it is a powerful social skill that gets kids trusting their instincts, shifting perspective, and most importantly having fun!
