Camp and youth programs
Throughout the year, Stolen Chair offers young people in the tri-state area the chance to channel their creative energies, build confidence, and learn collaboration as they develop theatrical skills.
Every June, Stolen Chair offers two short 1-week camps for grades 3-6 at the Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich, CT. This year we are offering:
On Broadway!
Sing, dance, and play theatre games with GCDS Drama teacher Jon Stancato and his friends from New York’s Stolen Chair Theatre Company: Broadway vocal coach Emily Otto and professional dancer Liza Wade Green. Each camper will get his or her very own solo in a big number from a contemporary Broadway musical and receive one-on-one vocal coaching. On Broadway! is a great way to gain confidence, inspire creativity, and overcome stage fright. No experience is necessary.
Whamm, Bam, Ka-Pow: Stunts, Fights, and Action Movie Magic
If you’ve ever watched an action movie and asked how they make the fights looks so real, this camp is for you! GCDS Drama Teacher Jon Stancato and a professional stuntman will teach campers how to (safely!) pull hair, yank ears, slap, punch, kick, choke, run into walls, drag, push, fall, slip, and roll. We’ll even create fights between super-powered characters! Each camper will get a YouTube video of their “fight reel.” No experience is necessary. Just come ready to work up a sweat and laugh until your sides hurt!
