Comedy Performance | Summer 2026

This weeklong camp introduces rising third- through fifth-graders to improv and sketch comedy. Campers practice improvisation, invent characters, write sketches, and build confidence, stage presence, self-awareness, and ensemble skills. The week concludes with the newly formed comedy troupe performing for family and friends in the Pritzker Family Studio Theatre.

Free before-care runs from 8:30–9:30 a.m., and free after-care is available from 4–5:30 p.m. The listing currently directs families to a waitlist.
