Learn & Engage

IRT Theatre Camp

IRT Theatre Camp information will be added January 2024.

Bring theatre to life at the IRT! Children new to theatre can learn the basics in the introductory camps, while more advanced actors can sharpen their skills at our intermediate camps. For those with specialized interests, we offer camps in musical theatre, improvisation, technical theatre, and fight and movement choreography. Small class sizes, highly trained theatre professionals with teaching experience, and an inclusive environment make IRT Theatre Camp a great way to grow as an actor and person. Camps are available for students ages 8-15, as well as mini-camps for students ages 5-7.

Our Teaching Artists & Education Interns

IRT Theatre Camp teaching artists and interns are an essential part of our theatre camp experience. These dedicated individuals play a vital role in creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment for young performers to learn and grow. Whether they are leading warm-up exercises, teaching acting techniques, giving direction, or providing one-on-one support, our teaching artists and interns bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to the table. Their commitment and dedication to the success of each camper make them invaluable members of our IRT Theatre Camp team!
