This is an audition only program that gives participants an incredible experience diving into the world of professional theatre. Youth Artists will work with core YES Theatre company members to mount a full scale production that culminates in performances for schools and the public. They will learn the key skills and tools to become professionals in all areas of the craft including on and off stage positions.
For Students Age 11 And Older
The Young Company engages students in the process of creating a major theatrical production, culminating in a series of performances for parents and the community.
This program encourages participants to develop their performance abilities in acting, voice, and movement, and contribute to the creation of props, sets, and costumes. Recent productions include One Small Step, The Magic Pebble, Mining Rocks!, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.
2025 PRODUCTION – CHOIR!
A new musical by Anika Johnson and Barbara Johnston
Long before ‘Glee’ and ‘American Idol,’ there were Community Youth Choirs across the land where young singers gathered because they loved to sing, loved each other, or “their mother made them do it!”.
CHOIR! is a musical comedy that follows the Tierce de Picardie Children’s Chorus (TDPCC) through a year of the ups and downs of their lives, and their music under the exacting baton of their intrepid leader Mary Dean. Headed for the bright lights of the big choir competition in Sudbury, they dream of choir glory but find a bigger prize along the way.
