Improvisation Revelation Summer Camp

Camp:

In this week-long summer camp, students will study the theory behind improvisation. Many believe that improvisation requires performers to be able to think fast, but that is not the case. Students will learn that there is a way to structure every improv scene, no matter what the audience suggestion is! Students will explore the art of improvisation through a series of games that will allow students to unleash their creativity. This is a great option for students that are interested in theatre but may struggle with memorization; students do not need to memorize a thing! There will be a performance on the last day of camp for family and friends. All campers will receive a T-shirt which is included in the cost of tuition. This camp will be taught by HCT’s Education Director, Kelsey Kott. There are only fifteen spots available. (Ages 11 – 14)

About:

The Hickory Community Theatre had its humble beginning in 1948 when the Hickory Recreation Department employed Kay Johnson to form a theatre group. Her first offering was a series of radio dramas aired on WIRC. In 1949, informal meetings, encouraged by the Kramer family, led to the formation of what was then known as The Hickory Little Theatre. The HLT first production was an evening of one-act plays, so successful that the company presented its first full-length production, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU in October in the auditorium at City Hall. The building has been the home of HCT ever since.
