San Diego Junior Theatre

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.

This program will take place at Coronado Playhouse, located at 1835 Strand Way. Please drop off and pick up your student at the main theater entrance each day. Hours are 9am-2:45pm with no early drop-off or aftercare options.

JT Studio programs are fast-paced, high-energy intensives designed for teens looking to elevate their performance skills. Tailored for grades 7-12, these programs offer a deep dive into performance and technique,  challenging students to refine their craft in a professional-style rehearsal environment. Classes will primarily emphasize acting, though other theatrical elements (playwriting, movement, auditioning, etc) may be included. 

***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. 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.***
