Delve into the world of theater, journeying from an inkling of an idea on the page, and from the page to the stage. Develop your own unique voice and experience first-hand the joy of hearing your words, characters, and situations come to life as you create a script for a live audience. Bravo!
Margaret Mitchell House writing camps provide an opportunity for youth to discover the power and excitement of writing while honing their skills in a fun, interactive environment.
