Playhouse Northwest Acting School

Located in West Seattle - (206) 919-7407

Playhouse Northwest Acting School in conjunction with Lee’s Martial Arts presents…


Kids’Half and Half Camp! — 1/2 Acting and 1/2 Martial Arts Camp

Get the best of both worlds! Both camps have been so popular over the years we thought, “Let’s take the best parts from each camp and combine them.” Kind of like peanut butter and chocolate; two very different tastes that complement each other beautifully and just work.

Often young actors are encouraged to learn new skills, and with Kids’ Half and Half Camp not only will they improve their acting skills but they will learn a valuable new skill set for the industry. And for those who love martial arts they get to utilize and demonstrate their skills and put them on camera. Their fight choreography scenes will be taped and viewed in class. They will be educated on acting, safety, and their best camera angles for their scene.

This week-long camp includes:

  • Basic skills for on-camera auditions
  • Improvisation
  • Scene study
  • Stage combat/fight choreography
  • Taekwondo
  • Board breaking
  • Intro to Meisner Acting Technique

In addition, students will learn the very important skills of self-defense (for real, not acting) in the Personal Safety portion of this camp. And of course we cannot forget our traditional favorite field trip to the bowling alley and the ice cream social.

Register today so you don’t miss out!
