YOUNG ARTISTS AT PLAY


Young Artists At Play includes theatre camps, performance seminars and musical theatre workshops for children entering grades 1-12.  Entering its 13th year, the mission of YAAP is to utilize theatre to teach and reinforce life skills of teamwork, problem solving, creativity, analysis, and critical thinking while promoting an understanding and appreciation of the theatrical art form.  Age-appropriate programs are designed to spark the child's imagination, encourage their social and listening skills, and build self-confidence. Theatre professionals and guest artists teach the collaborative process of theatre that requires these diverse and important skills. Children broaden their knowledge of theatre through a number of activities, including reading and analyzing scripts and working with fellow actors, directors, and designers to produce a cohesive final project.
