Philadelphia, PA - Arden Theatre Company offers an action-packed theatre camp taught by theatre professionals! Arden Summer Camp is filled with all the care, focus and enthusiasm we give to our award-winning, full-scale productions. Kids take two acting classes a day (one basic class and one "specialized" class like Improv, storytelling, musical theatre or Shakespeare), and at least one design class a day. And each afternoon the kids rehearse for the Camp Show that is presented to parents and family on Saturday. At lunchtime, kids are treated to a special presentation from guest artists who perform for - and sometimes with! - them.

Arden Kids' Crew, the newly-renamed roster of popular theatre classes for kids, offers COSTUME DESIGN, the finale of Kids' Crew Classes. Classes provide fun, high-quality, interactive theatre classes that enliven imaginations, get kids working together and instill a lifelong love of theatre. Arden's classes are taught by professional theatre artists with a penchant (and talent!) for teaching kids. All Kids' Crew classes develop speaking, problem-solving and listening skills while increasing kids' confidence and self-esteem.
