Second City Hollywood: The Second City is the leading brand in improv-based sketch comedy. Based in Hollywood CA, our training center provides 1 and 2-week comedy summer camp programs for kids and teens ages 8-18. All students are welcome and no previous experience is needed. At the end of the camp, invite your friends and family to a free show where you will show off your new improv, singing and sketch skills.
Camp will take place Monday through Friday 10:30am-4:30pm, for your choice of one week long camp or two week long camp duration. Camp is broken into three sections each day:
Musical Improvisation: An introduction to musical games and techniques. The class introduces students to vocal performance, production, and projection for the actor/improviser; the basics of comedic songwriting; and the fundamental concepts of musical improvisation. No singing experience is required. This is often the subject most feared at the start of camp and most loved by the end.
