The YOUNG COMPANY is an audition-only experience tailored for young artists 10 to 14. This advanced program provides a nurturing environment for students to hone their talents while building a strong artistic foundation in musical theatre. It also provides students with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills for a seamless transition to higher-level learning, such as our intensive Company program.

The year end musical will take place at The Beaverton Town Hall Theatre.

Program highlights:

  • An environment that challenges and supports the artistic growth of the students.

  • Specialized training in singing, dancing, and acting, equipping young artists with the essential skills needed to excel in musical theatre.

  • Workshops that emphasize technique, expression, and stage presence.

  • Mentorship by experienced instructors who provide constructive feedback and guidance.

  • Opportunity to collaborate with like-minded peers while gaining valuable live performance experience through the staging of a full-scale musical production.
