Young Actors’ Theatre Camp
Developed by our team of amazing instructors, our multi-award winning programs focus on discovering and developing each individual student’s talents in ALL the areas of the performing arts.Our classes are all taught by working actors, singers, directors, dancers, casting directors, agents, manager, and producers who bring their current experiences and inspirations directly to the classroom. There is nothing quite like learning ‘how to sell a song’ from Sutton Foster or learning the ‘Safety Dance’ from Glee’s Heather Morris or learning ‘how to write great lyrics’ from Darren Criss while he serenades you. All of our programs are designed with each camper in mind regardless of age or experience level. From our intensive 1-day workshops to our Overnight Camps, we are sure that you will find YATC the perfect match for your goals!Imagine a world where students break into “Defying Gravity” during lunch, star in their own short film which is shown at the film festival, learn how to write a hit song from the Academy Award-winning songwriters of Frozen, learn how to act for the camera from a major TV star, and meet kids with the same amount of passion for the arts as they have! YATC will change your life, forever!
