Performing Arts Summer Camp in Denver

Girls Write immerses our campers in playwriting.  Teaching professionals guide them through the fundamentals, using improv and sample scripts for inspiration.  Mentors provide cheerleading and encouragement, supporting each camper’s ideas and leading them to the creation of a short play.  At the end of the week, professional actors and directors bring each story to life! As they develop creative tools for storytelling, the campers gain confidence in their unique voices and experience the joy of collaborating with others.
