Dad's Garage Theatre

Atlanta's Longest-Running Improv Stage Opens Its Rehearsal Room to Kids

Dad's Garage Theatre has been teaching Atlanta to think on its feet for three decades, and its youth camps bring that same "yes, and" philosophy to elementary and middle schoolers at the 569 Ezzard Street home in Old Fourth Ward.

Themed Summer Improv Camps

Week-long Monday-through-Friday sessions culminate in a Friday showcase for friends and family. Programs include:
- Kids' improv camps for grades 3-6
- Teen camps for grades 7-9
- Themed weeks like Superheroes & Villains, Action Movie, and Sketch Comedy
- Six-week improv classes for older teens

What's Included

• Daily games, scenework, and ensemble exercises led by working Dad's Garage improvisers
• Culminating performance on a real theater stage with lights and audience
• Free show tickets for teen-class students to most Dad's Garage mainstage productions
• Diversity and financial-aid scholarships available (first-come, first-served)

Experience

The vibe is scrappy, playful, and kind - the show's signature brand of irreverent comedy gets filtered into age-appropriate games where the goal is making your scene partner look good. Great for expressive kids, class clowns channeling their energy, or shy ones building confidence.
