Youth Theatre Northwest

Theatre Productions: YTNW is a community theatre staging productions with student talent. The productions are suitable for families with young children. Thousands of audience members attended this year's mainstage, studio and outreach productions. This program was supported with 1067 hours by volunteers.

Youth Theatre Northwest provides education in all aspects of theatre arts to hundreds of enrollees ages 2-18. Taught by professional teaching artists, our classes dive into Creative problem-solving, Character creation, Musical theatre training, Imaginative play, Scene study and Performance training. We offer weekly classes throughout the school year and 1-week to 3-week camps in the summer. These programs are supported with 480 hours by volunteers.

Each year, Youth Theatre Northwest produces nine full-length theatrical productions professionally designed and directed by local artists, with students in grades 1-12 serving actors and technicians. Students take part in the full rehearsal process and present their final product to the public from anywhere between 3-12 persormances. We also have film, improv, and new works focused programs and performance opportunities.

YTN provides outreach for schools across the Puget Sound area. Our In-Class Residencies bring books, lessons and topics to life, integrating with curriculum for one week and longer. After-School Enrichment programs offer creative experiences, from imaginative journeys to acting and musical theater. Our Show to Go Program brings productions to schools lacking theatre resources.
