High School

Young Artists Program

In addition to two fully-staged productions in the summer, Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program (YAP) is a year-round series of workshops and seminars designed just for high school students interested in improving their skills in a professional setting and looking to prepare for college auditions and beyond.

All workshops are taught by performers and instructors with extensive experience locally, regionally and nationally. YAP also includes intensive rehearsals, specialized workshops and performances. Training will focus on developing the skills needed to succeed professionally, including character development, vocal coaching and advanced dance technique.

Join us for our Winter Break YAP Workshops!

Ever wonder what a typical day at a college or conservatory for the performing arts might be like? Here is your chance to discover the intensity and fun of that training!

YAP’s Winter Break Workshops are the perfect way to shake off the boredom, prepare for show choir season and hone your dance skills with professional dancers. Mix and match these exciting workshops or take all four for a specially reduced price.

We hope to see you there!
