Thank you for your interest in YPT Shows!
If you’re checking us out in between productions, take a look at information on our classes or camps. These are a great way for young people to get their feet wet with musical theater and YPT.
If you are exploring Into the Woods, consider this bit about the show and why we’re doing it: We’re so excited to be back and bring live theater experiences to young performers and audiences alike. Into The Woods follows storybook characters whose lives tangle together as they hunt down their happily ever afters… and then the musical goes beyond the stories’ ends, showing what lurks around the corner when you get what you think that you want. Funny, enchanting, heartbreaking–Into the Woods runs its characters and audience members through a gambit of emotions and reminds us all of the power of the stories we tell.
For Young People, there are two tracks of involvement on YPT shows:
Cast Member
Tech Team Member
These two groups combine to make up our YPT Company on each show!
Both groups begin with auditions/interviews. Watch for announcements on our website and through our Email Blast Service. Auditions/Interviews are generally held in September, December and February of each year. Complete instructions and all of the necessary forms will be on YPT’s website.
