Course Overview

Campers will explore the basic components of playwriting and production, with a performance at the end of the week. This camp is part-instruction, part-workshop: students will spend some time learning more about the basics of the craft, such as plot structure, character development, dialogue, script design, stage direction and set design, and some time writing, collaborating, and receiving feedback on their work. Campers will write sketches, monologues, and one-act plays, work individually and in groups, and put on an informal performance (in our classroom) at the end of the week. We will also discuss puppetry, improv, and musical theater, as we learn a variety of ways for bringing one’s script to life.

Please Note: For your camper's safety and their overall educational experience at camp, it is necessary that they have the ability to converse in and understand English.
Please Note: Niner Academy and many 49er Minor camps are considered college-preparatory and/or career readiness camp programs for teens. Often through guest speakers, during field trips, and through class and peer-driven discussion, we may discuss societal and social issues. Campers' opinions and perspectives may differ from those of their peers and/or guest speakers; we encourage open discussion during camp. We seek to establish a camp environment where all voices are heard and opinions are respected.
Please Note: We rely on guardian discretion to select camp topics that are best suited for their child individually. Be sure to consider your child’s interests, personality, and developmental level when choosing the right camp.
Please Note: We rely on guardian discretion for appropriate dress at camp. We ask that our participants dress in a way that allows them to engage in camp activities and remain safe while doing so. Please refrain from wearing discriminatory terms, logos, pictures, cartoons, or slogans. Specific dress requirements may occur depending on the camp activity. This will be communicated in advance to guardians by our instructors.
