Cultivating the Next Generation of Artists

Since its inception, the Rep has held arts education at the center of its mission, which is to entertain, educate and engage our community by producing plays and education programs of the highest artistic quality. The Young Actors Conservatory (YAC) was founded in 1993 with a commitment to developing a premiere theater arts education program at the Rep so that children could continue to experience the positive life affirming effects of theater during a critical period of their maturation. Today YAC is a thriving arts education program in serving over 400 students each year. The Rep also provides scholarship opportunities to parents/students who are in need of financial assistance.

Creative Theater Adventures (For ages 9-12)

This summer, 9-12 year olds will journey into the magical world of theater. Each fun-filled day is divided into two destinations. In the first part of the day students participate in variety of daily workshops such as storytelling, improvisation, stage combat, movement, and acting that are designed to promote team building, boost self confidence and enhance performance skills. In the afternoon, students create and rehearse a production, based on one of Shakespeare’s plays, to be performed on the last day of the program. All workshops, including the afternoon production class, are led by teachers with extensive theater backgrounds who focus on creating a safe theater world where kids learn and have fun.
