FALL 2018 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 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. For our Act 2 and 3 students, our focus turns towards the ‘Good People’ aspect of our motto as we work to develop strong artistic skills as well as artistic appreciation and understanding with our new programs: The Theatre Club and The 24 Hour Musical! Our goal is to prepare you for your next theatrical adventure, as well as for all future life endeavors all while having fun! Registration is now open. Everything is first come, first serve! We hope to see you soon.
