The Youth Theatre Training Program (YTTP) is a progressive, ensemble-based training pathway within the University's Department of Theatre. Students grow as collaborative theatre-makers through four levels — Foundations, Developing, Performance Company, and Conservatory — with placement guided by age and readiness.

High school artists train at an advanced level, developing discipline, artistic voice, and the confidence to pursue their goals both in theatre and beyond. Conservatory students also have the opportunity to compete at regional festivals.

Youth Theatre at the U produces mainstage performances open to youth 18 and under. Auditions are open to the community — no prior Youth Theatre enrollment required. Check our current production and upcoming audition dates.
