The Ensemble Theatre, 3535 Main St., will host two Young Performers Program (YPP) summer sessions. The first session is June 5- July 1 and the second session is July 5-July 29.
“We are proud of the opportunity to cultivate the minds of youth through the arts,” said Eileen J. Morris, artistic director for the Ensemble and program co-founder.
“While we are excited to have so many celebrity alumni, we have an even greater list of alumni excelling in other professions such as doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs.”
YPP is a training program for youth ages 6 to 17 who desire to explore their creative and artistic talents. Classes are held in theater, dance, music, and technical theater with a culminating performance. Since its inception the program has extended to include week-long sessions for winter break and spring break.
The sessions are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the option to enroll in an expanded day of workshops. This summer, tap dance classes are added and taught by dancer Alde Lewis.
