Camps for kids ages 5-16
About GreenStage’s Theatre Camps
This summer, GreenStage has scheduled more camps than ever before, and in more locations. See the schedule below!
GreenStage’s educational programs support the values of successful learning and include summer shows for ages 5-16. Our theatre camps take each student on a personal journey through the world of Shakespeare. Their natural imaginations will be embraced and nurtured as their ability to focus and work as a team increases. All offerings focus on positive reinforcement and esteem building skills as our young artists explore Shakespeare’s mind-expanding concepts and beautiful world vision. Our instructors create supportive environments in the beauty of the Seattle area parks where we have been staging our professional shows since 1989. Each week-long camp ends with a free performance (picnic recommended) in the parks for family and friends.
2023 CAMPS AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Our camps for 2023 – with new, lower prices – are still being scheduled and coordinated. Complete information will be available soon. If you have questions, please use our CONTACT FORM to email us.

PEE WEE SHAKESPEAREANS – ages 5-8

They will explore several short pieces of his plays and learn about getting into character, figure out how to tell a story as part of a group, learn a few phrases in the original language, and discover the joys of performing. Final short performance for friends and family on Friday at noon.

SHAKESPEARE IMPROV
Youth Theatre Camp – ages 11-16
Using Shakespeare’s words and stories as a starting point, students will create their own play by twisting famous plotlines and characters into a kind of “Fakespeare”! Students will create this parody together using improv and playwriting techniques to shape their own unique play. Each section will be working on a different plotline. We will take time to fashion some basic set or props depending on what is needed for our improvised creation. Both sections are aiming for 30-45 minute final performances to friends and families on Friday.
