Does The Hideout Theatre Offer Kids' Improv Classes and Camps?

Updated

Yes. The Hideout Theatre runs dedicated youth programming that includes kids' classes, camps, and shows, separate from its adult classes and mainstage productions. The theater describes these programs as bringing "the power and fun of improv to the next generation." If you're looking for a specific session, age range, or price, you'll need to check the current schedule on the Hideout's website, since the details shown here are limited to what was listed at the time.

What the youth programs include

Based on the theater's own site, the kids' offerings fall into three categories:

  • Classes — ongoing improv instruction for younger students.
  • Camps — seasonal programs, including a summer camp (a "Kids Summer Camp" banner appears on the site).
  • Shows — performances that let kids take part in or watch improv.

These sit alongside the adult track (Level One classes, free intro classes) and the corporate training program, The Hideout At Work.

What the site does and doesn't tell you

The homepage confirms the programs exist but doesn't list youth class times, ages, or tuition in the material available. The upcoming classes shown are adult Level One sessions and free adult intro classes, not kids' sessions. That means:

How to find current details

  1. Go to hideouttheatre.com.
  2. Look for the kids/ youth section or the classes and camps listings.
  3. Check the "Upcoming Classes" and "Upcoming Shows" areas, or the full schedule pages, for youth-specific entries.
  4. If a session is full, note that adult classes on the site are marked "Sold Out!" — youth sessions may fill similarly, so check early.

Location note

The theater is now performing at 5555 N Lamar Blvd, Unit B103, in an intimate 35-seat space, with free parking (turn left at the Goodwill, next to GrassIron Gym). If you're planning to attend a kids' show or class in person, that's the current address to use.
