Youth Theatre at the U (YTU) is dedicated to empowering youth to skillfully participate in the performing arts as a vehicle to explore their creativity, engage in their community, and think critically about the world. For over thirty years, YTU has been providing high-quality out-of-school time theatre arts programs for young people along the Wasatch Front.
YTU continues to provide opportunities for young people to explore, extend, and develop their artistic skills with emerging and professional practitioners, creating work they regard and respect, and that can be shared and enjoyed by their peers, their families and friends, and the broader community.
Our program creates theatre so that young people’s voices are heard. Our comprehensive programming strives to instill discipline and self-esteem, and to encourage creativity, enabling our young people to develop to their fullest potential and to excel in their chosen theatrical endeavors.
YTU is clear about who we are. Our reputation is stronger and our reach has grown. I can’t wait to achieve even greater thingsnext year.
