Description:

Kids are natural comedians, and in this workshop they’ll use their talents to make audiences roll in the aisles. We’ll explore everything from silent film comedy to improv to sketch comedy and impressions. Students will work together to create their own comedy short films!

Goofing around is serious business in this workshop, where young filmmakers learn how to use camera angles, body language, and editing to craft perfectly-timed comedic scenes. Perfect for class clowns, joke writers, and kids who love to perform!

Join us at the end of the week to watch the finished films on the big screen!

Tuition assistance is available for all Light House workshops. To apply, fill out the Tuition Assistance application and wait for a response from our staff with further instructions.
