Robert Hindsman, Class and Camp Administration Manager

The Alliance Theatre is beyond excited to offer a record-breaking Summer Camp season with over 225 theater-focused camps to students across the Atlanta Metro area. Students ages 3 – 18 years old are invited to expand their creativity, develop new work, and create long lasting friendships. We have extended our programming beyond the walls of The Woodruff Arts Center to satellite locations at Oglethorpe University, The Galloway School, The Lovett School, First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, Grove Park, Alpharetta Arts Center, Tapestry Public Charter School, Kennesaw State University, and The Museum School.

The camp experience consists of a week-long intensive where campers explore different facets of theater performance including musical theater, improv, on-camera acting, playwriting, tech design, and songwriting. During a camp week, students work with professional teaching artists in the creation of an original performance, culminating with a shared performance with family and friends at the end of the week. Campers participate in specially developed curricula to grow as

young artists and hopefully develop a lifelong love for the theater. More importantly, we believe our programming empowers students to develop strong communication tools for collaboration that will push them to become more empathetic, caring human beings.

Each summer, we develop curriculum that is grounded in themes reflected from our upcoming season on the Alliance Theatre stages. Connecting campers to the season in this way allows our students to preview upcoming productions and even participate in the development of new work. This summer, students will learn and perform original works based on the themes discussed in our upcoming productions specifically designed for families and young audiences.

Expanding young hearts and minds is one of the core values of our mission at Alliance Theatre. We hope you and your family consider spending a week or two with us this summer.
