Form a pirate crew with your fellow classmates and set sail for fortune and glory! In this performance skills/RPG-Play course, you’ll craft your character’s unique backstory, abilities, and look. Then, you’ll bring them to life through improv and storytelling challenges before actual-play sessions of a tabletop role-playing-game. (If you’re interested in ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ , it’s like that but isn’t that exactly…)(Less ‘dragons’ more ‘mermaids’)

Will you discover the Lost Treasure of the Sunken Isles, or be swallowed whole by the deadly Kraken? The only way to find out is by playing the game! 

Ye Olde Fine Print: This is a fantasy pirate adventure with all of the trappings you might imagine. Forts will be raided, treasure will be plundered and buckles will be swashed. (Or is it ‘swashes’ will be ‘buckled’?) Which is to say: violence and thievery are inherent to the genre. Storylines may also involve: spoooooooky skeletons, the existence of grog/rum, dark magic, a pantheon of gods + beliefs. We would rate the content as PG-13, in line with that of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. 

Grades 7-12

Session 6: July 21-25

Theatre has always been a force for change. From civil rights to free speech, the stage is a battleground where voices rise, stories challenge, and movements begin. This acting intensive delves into the intersection of performance and activism, exploring how theatre ignites conversation and inspires action. Through powerful monologues, dynamic scene work, and ensemble-driven storytelling, engage with bold characters and urgent real-world issues. Perform iconic speeches and poems—like the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. or Maya Angelou—that have moved generations and shaped history. From historical protests to contemporary calls for justice, examine how performance has shaped—and continues to shape—the world around us. Because when the world is watching, the stage is more than a spotlight; it’s a call to action.
