About Our Young Performers Program
The Young Performers Program (YPP) is an exciting, energizing and intensive performing arts program for youth ages 6-17 who want to explore their creative and artistic talents. Since 1985, more than 4,000 Houston-area youth have participated in YPP, including some who are now professionals on Broadway, film and television, and a variety of other successful careers.
We combine the study of theatre, dance, music, arts education, technical skill, creative dramatics and performance for a well-rounded educational experience. Four sessions are held throughout the year: Spring Break (one week), two month-long Summer Break sessions, and Winter Break (one week).
The program offers an introductory overview of the arts through theatre, dance and music motivating youth to use theatre as a means to explore and inspire.
Each session culminates in a production that encompasses all of the taught disciplines.
