Dear Actors,
 
At the heart of YATC we inspire young artists to realize and embrace their individuality in a professional environment that is not fear-driven.

Cultivation of your uniqueness is essential to your development as an artist, while negative self-comparison in art dilutes this asset. Combined with technique, our approach builds confidence and frees you to reach your potential.

Recognizing that our student’s needs range widely, we’ve developed multiple avenues of exploration for you - the Master Class Series, the Emerging Artist Series, and the Seminar Series. This structure ensures that every student will be challenged and supported through a diverse array of exciting classes including Acting Tool Box, Candid Camera, and Calling All Improv!

Throughout our own journey, the most memorable teachers and mentors of impact were those who uncovered and nurtured our uniqueness. We strive to do the same for you!

We pledge to provide the encouragement, challenges, and environment where young actors become skilled artists and hope-filled adventurers in all endeavors.
