Classes & Camps

Passage Theatre Company is once again producing "Vision & Voice" a Theatre Arts summer camp for children ages 9-15 based on authentic self-expression. The camp will take place from 8:30am-2:30pm on Monday-Friday from Monday, August 19th through Thursday the 29th. The program will teach students skills linked to improvisation, performance, poetry, dramatic writing, and dance. The skills acquired throughout the camp will be showcased in a final performance for friends and family in the Mill Hill Playhouse at 6pm on August 29th. Free breakfasts and lunches will be provided before and after each camp session, provided by the Capital Area YMCA. Contact camp coordinator Monah Yancy, monah@passagetheatre.org, for more information!
