Movement and Magic are what Synetic Theater is dishing up this summer for the 26th anniversary of our highly engaging summer camp program! Since 1996, Synetic has delighted families by offering arts-based movement experiences that culminate in a performance fit for the stage. Students work with Synetic’s professional team of teaching artists to create and learn a play written for them! Each session ends in a performance for their families.
This year, campers will explore the upside-down world of Kingston Valley and all the wacky things that have ensued, in our two-week camp entitled: Peculiar Things. While this play is based on a popular streaming show, the camp will be anything but scary — abounding with 80’s inspired jokes and music. Looking for a one-week camp experience to cool off after an encounter with strange creatures? Look no further than Foiled Fables. In this camp, students work to create and re-imagine their favorite fairy tale stories and bring them to life. Will Cinderella be wearing Vans, or will the Big Bad Wolf finally join that support group? Anything is possible!
With an emphasis on movement and active play, Synetic Camps provide an excellent way for Elementary and Middle School students to explore new art forms and areas of interest. No prior theater experience is necessary, just a desire to have fun and be creative! Come see why parents call us “the best theater program in the D.C. area!”
