Our process-oriented programming pushes students to the next level by working with exceptional Boston teaching artists and theatre professionals.

The Young Company lives by the idea that GOOD THEATRE MAKES GOOD PEOPLE.

Good theatre is created when the audience, the text, and the actor are all engaged. We believe this requires trust, confidence, and empathy – traits which inspire individuals to become responsible community members.
