YPW Spring Session


Spring is about new beginnings, and so is the perfect time to introduce a new class! YPW2 meets Music Theatre in YPWActing+. Students will rehearse and perform a one-act play, and also perform a song selected for their character. This is perfect for music theatre students who want to brush up on their acting, or YPW2 students who want to try a little singing. We’re also offering a tech class in sewing skills. Participants learn to sew by hand and machine, creating an original project to showcase during the performances.

Mondays, March 12th through April 23rd
4:00pm-6:00pm YPW 1 (Ages 7-12) $250
6:30pm-8:30pm YPW Acting+ (Ages 13-18) $250
