YAT COMPANY

The Company We Keep: Inspiring Young Artists

The Young Actors Theatre Company is an audition-only group of 4th-12th grade students who excel in the disciplines of acting, music, and dance.  Company members attend class once a week for three hours, and have the option to audition for our Mainstage season of shows.  Once a student has completed a minimum of one year in our Enrichment program, and are at a minimum going into 4th grade, they may audition for the Company!
