Grades 4-6

Session 7: July 28- August 1, 2025

Every great story has a hero, but what about the sidekick? This acting academy flips the script, giving the spotlight to the comic relief, the loyal best friend, and the underestimated underdog. Through scene work, improv, and character-driven storytelling, reimagine famous sidekicks like Timon and Pumbaa (The Lion King), Genie (Aladdin), and Donkey (Shrek) as the true stars of the show. Develop original scenes, craft bold characters, and explore what happens when the sidekick takes center stage. Because every great adventure needs a scene-stealer!

These camps are geared towards students who want a faster paced "rehearsal & performance" experience. Classes will primarily emphasize acting, though other theatrical elements (playwriting, movement, auditioning, etc) may be included. 

***Camps run from 9am-3pm Monday-Friday unless otherwise specified. Students will be grouped by age. Students should come to camp with a sack lunch and two extra snacks. Please send students in clothes they can move in; no flip flops. Aftercare option available for $20/day until 5 PM. For the safety of all students, we have a closed classroom policy. Adults are not permitted to sit in on JT camps until our invited Open Sharing on the final day of camp.***

This program is designed for rising 1st-8th graders. For rising Kindergartners please register for Session 7 Kinderstars.

Some heroes wear capes, some cast spells, and some find their power in unexpected ways! This camp celebrates the larger-than-life characters who inspire us—from classic superheroes to magical kids like Percy Jackson and Matilda. Step into epic stories, bring heroic moments to life through acting and movement, and unlock the magic of storytelling. Whether saving the day, discovering hidden powers, or standing up for what’s right, every great story needs a hero—and this time, it’s you!
