Youth Production Company
About YPC
Venice Theatre is fortunate to operate in a community with teens who are talented, intelligent, and fun to be around.
We are always looking for new ways to challenge them. Recently, a group of young actors, with the support of the Education & Community Engagement Department, proposed a new program that allows them to spread their wings and rise to a new level of leadership in the organization.
The Youth Production Company (YPC):
- creates opportunities for high school age students to develop exceptional & unique portfolio material for college applications.
- creates additional performance and technical opportunities for area youth.
- creates an environment for students to create art on their own terms, where they are responsible for all aspects of the project.
- develops 21st century workplace skills (collaboration, communication, problem solving, and creativity)
