The Ann Arbor Young Actors Guild Summer Theatre Academy provides student-centered theatre education in a relaxed camp-like setting. The program includes training in theatre and technical theatre skills for all ages, as well as associated art forms such as movement, voice, art puppetry, improvisation, mime, and stage combat. Each group will work towards a full production which will be presented at the end of the two-week session. During the fun-packed session many good friendships are formed. Students return year after year to renew these friendships.
