If you want to make a difference in the world and have a lot of fun while doing it, our two-week theatre camp is for you.
For the past 50 years the Duke Ellington School of the Arts has been preparing young actors for careers in the arts. Young theatre-makers study acting, improvisation, musical theatre, comedy, voice, writing, and dance. With guidance from professional actors and directors working in television, theatre and film, students create and perform an original play about a social issue they care about.
What makes Ellington’s camp unique is our family atmosphere, our high-quality theatre training, and our commitment to empowering kids to use theatre for social change! Plus campers get to experience some of the most prestigious venues - including Duke Ellington, The John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center and George Washington University - in the District of Columbia!
Since 1974, Duke Ellington School of the Arts has provided a life-changing arts education for the District's talented youth regardless of background, prior experience in the arts, or ability to pay.
