Playwriting Playground: Summer Camp 

Join PYP for a playwriting-focused summer camp!
No writing experience necessary.

Program Details

Looking for a unique theater and writing adventure for your 8 - 13 year old this summer? At PYP's Playwriting Playground, campers will learn brainstorming, storytelling, writing, acting and improv skills in a safe and playful environment. Over 5 days, participants will work together to select themes for a devised play and shape their own monologues and scenes, culminating in a performance for family and friends that will then later be featured in the Cannonball Festival at Philly Fringe this September! No prior writing or acting experience is needed! 

This camp is for rising 3rd graders to rising 7th graders (ages 8 - 13).

Tuition & Scholarships

Camp tuition is offered on a sliding scale of $275 - $500 and we do have two scholarship slots available. Email [email protected] to inquire about scholarship slot availability.

Dates & Location

July 6th - 10th, 2026 
Philadelphia Young Playwrights (in the Asian Arts Initiative building, 1219 Vine St)
