The Guildford theatre is offering a fortnight of holiday skills and entertainment for young people aged five through to 18.
A Drama Camp for seven to 11 year olds, from Monday to Friday, July 27 to 31, will explore myths and legends through games, storytelling, and costume design.
Day passes are available for those unable to attend the whole week.
The following week a Family Circus workshop can be enjoyed on Monday, August 3.
Participants will learn circus skills and perform in a circus show.
Grown-ups can join in (the hula-hoops are hard to resist), or sit back and relax.
This will be followed by a three-day Teen Screen Acting workshop on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 4, 5, and 6, will offer group work, drama games and focused performance time.
Young people will be able to build confidence on camera and discover what makes a screen performance feel natural and compelling.
For eight to 11 year old tech fans there is an opportunity to take part in a Video Game Design workshop on Friday, August 7.
Participants will be able to code players as well as play games, using a piece of software called Kodu to create their own unique game world.
Teens with a love for musical theatre can join a Masterclass with Jenna Innes (Sinatra the Musical, Heathers, Les Miserables) on Monday, August 10.
They will practice storytelling and acting through song, work on vocal technique and perform a West End style dance routine.
The last event of the fortnight is a Squishmallow-Making workshop for youngsters aged seven years and older, on Wednesday, August 12.
Participants will learn how to make a ‘mini-squishy’ sock cuddly, and design a matching Squishmallow-themed art canvas.
Using simple hand-stitching they will be able to give their new cuddly companion its own personality.
