Spring 2020 ProgrammingThrough artistic training and performance opportunities, The Young Company at Greater Boston Stage Company develops life skills such as confidence, self-discipline, and collaboration to inspire and prepare young actors for future creative engagement and success.
Each spring and fall we offer a variety of programs designed for students to have fun as they grow as artists and people in a supportive and creative environment. Acting Classes and Private Voice Lessons develop confidence, empathy, ownership and agency through performing in process-oriented environments. Our focus turns towards the ‘Good People’ aspect of our motto as we work to develop artistic appreciation and understanding with The Theatre Club. Our goal is to prepare you for your next theatrical adventure, as well as for all future life endeavors all while having fun! RECURRING CLASSES
