We take being funny, VERY seriously
The Very Serious Comedy Camp is all about High School Theater. We are so grateful for these programs, and this camp was started to welcome the next generation of performers with open arms. We hope to give you a taste of the High School Theater experience by learning from and performing with us. All our staff has tremendous theater and performing experience, and we're excited to teach you what we know.
