EXPLORING THEATRE
Facilitated By: Saltworks Theatre
Camper Capacity: 50
Location: Pittsburgh Peabody
Culminating Activity: Campers participate in the performance of "Us & Them"

Students will have a ton of fun as they explore literary works and learn life skills through theater classes. Campers will learn valuable study skills and confidence in front of an audience through basic acting. Learn monologues, work in a small group to develop scenes and finally rehearse a play to perform the last week of camp. If you like to play and are willing to try new things in a safe environment, this is the place for you.
