Young Theatre Artists Collective (Grades 7-12), August 18 - Ocotber 

The Fall Season is designed to give young artists a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the full spectrum of theatrical production—from auditions through final strike.

This class welcomes students with interest in all aspects of theatre, whether on stage or behind the scenes. Our goal is to empower participants to take on creative and leadership roles essential to bringing a show to life.

Together, students will create and perform an evening of one-act plays, collaborating as a unified ensemble and rotating roles based on the needs of each production.

This is more than a class—it’s an invitation to discover the craft, leadership, and community that define theatre-making.  Culminating in a performance on Oct. 17

Young Theatre Artists Collective has a minimum requirement of 4 full-time students to run.
