Live from New York it’s…..well we aren't from NYC, but we will make our own sketch comedy show right here in Chesterfield! Sketch comedy is highly popular and draws on both improv and comedy writing skills. Many performers on SNL got their start at Improv groups such as Second City, Gotham City, UCB. Spend a week laughing, creating and exploring the realm of sketch comedy!

Join us for the 2024 Abra Kid Abra Summer Camp.

Unique and fun-filled summer arts camp taught by COCA's professional artists and teachers.

Walk on stilts! Balance on a rolla bolla board! You’ll learn juggling, plate spinning, clown acts, animal balloons, and more! Camp culminates with students performing for their family! Instructor: Abra-Kid-Abra

Unique and fun-filled summer arts camp taught by COCA's professional artists and teachers.

Take a week-long trip through a timeline of theatre history, while learning a sampling of performing arts skills! Decorate a Greek tragedy mask, try out some swashbuckling moves with Shakespearean (foam) sword combat, learn the basics of clowning during a slapstick comedy routine, unleash your inner Jim Henson with puppeteering techniques, trip the light fantastic with some Broadway-inspired choreography, and more! Whether students are new to the world of theatre, or are seasoned Thespians, this class will be the perfect introduction to some of the performing (and behind-the-scenes) elements that go into making magic onstage!

Choose to be funny, silly, or dramatic, and show off your unique talents in this fun, upbeat, and supportive environment. Utilizing our theater and stage,  campers will have the opportunity to perform skits, engage in dramatic play, improvisation, dance, and comedy routines. Additionally, campers will record and edit their performances to share with family and friends. This is a challenge by choice activity and other opportunities will be available during stage time.
