2025 Kids & Teens Comedy Camp
Get ready for a laugh-filled summer at Marietta’s very first professional-level comedy camp, right in the heart of Marietta Square! Led by Second City and Groundlings alum Casey Navarro, The Alley Stage's Kids Comedy Camp offers young comedians a unique opportunity to explore the exciting world of improv, sketch comedy, and stand-up.
Over the course of five days, campers will learn to think on their feet, create hilarious original material, and hone their comedic timing. The week wraps up with a showcase performance at The Alley Stage, where participants will shine in front of friends and family, performing their own sketches, stand-up routines, and improv scenes.
Whether your child is new to comedy or a budding star, this camp is designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and provide plenty of laughs along the way. Don’t miss this chance to watch your young performer grow, explore, and have a blast this summer!
Originally from Beavercreek, Ohio, Casey is a seasoned stand-up, sketch, and improv comedy performer and writer. She spent five years touring with Second City Chicago and was recently waitlisted for an SNL writing position. Casey was honored to participate in the first Atlanta SNL audition last summer.
She has also worked with The Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles before moving to Atlanta, where she became a teaching artist at the Alliance Theatre, Catapult Acting Studios, and Utopian Academy of the Arts. Additionally, Casey is a playwright, joining the ranks of artists like Lily Tomlin and Sigourney Weaver as an Artist in Residency at Saint Mary's College. There, she wrote and directed her first full-length multimedia dark comedy play, LUCKY LIAR LOSER, which explores themes of violence against women.
Casey has written for Chicago’s Redeye, Harness Magazine, and works as a freelance copywriter and commercial comedy consultant with Brontosaurus LA. Recently, she completed a stand-up tour in Europe and spent four months performing comedy at sea on NCL’s Breakaway.
You can catch her as a weekend regular at Laughing Skull Lounge and The Alley Stage, or in commercials for brands like Big Lots and Ally Bank.
