Why Families Trust Youth Theatre

  • University-affiliated program
  • Experienced teaching artists
  • Process-focused training
  • Safe and structured environment

As a parent I can't thank Youth Theatre enough for making the world more interesting and full of magic for my son.  May all people find their place on the stage and fill the world with tales of wonder. 

My child had a blast learning about the theater through many avenues. The community and togetherness is awesome!

Our son absolutely LOVED theater camp. He got pushed a bit out of his comfort zone, but with gentleness and support, he grew in confidence doing this camp! Definitely would do this camp again. Very inclusive and kind kids. Was very impressed with the organization and flexibility of the camp to support my child's needs. We loved this camp.

Youth Theatre has done so much for my kids’ self esteem. They love every day of theatre school and are always sad to have their last day of the session. The teachers, staff, and teen aides are all wonderful!
